Fill out and submit the Graduate School application with the required $50 application fee. This application can be saved while in progress and then submitted once it is complete. It also provides detailed instructions on submitting the remaining application materials:
- Three letters of reference, including at least one that discusses your academic work. The names of recommenders can be entered in the on-line application in step 1. Recommenders will receive an email directing them to the website to submit their recommendations. You will receive an email after each reference is submitted; you can monitor the status of each recommendation on the application web site.
- A letter of application, two to three pages in length, articulating your goals in seeking a MACS degree, describing your relevant background, and relating both to the materials enclosed in your accompanying dossier (see steps 4-6 below).
- A current resume or curriculum vitae
- Up to three items representative of your best work. At least one should be a writing sample demonstrating your research skills, critical and creative thinking abilities, and writing capacities. Other items may include your media or creative work, products of your academic or non-academic research activities, documentation of community-based or activist projects in which you have played a central role, or any other materials that you consider relevant to your application.
