The Application Fee is $50.00.

1. One official transcript from EACH academic institution you have attended:
(With the exception of the University of New Mexico.) Do not assume that any transcript is irrelevant to your proposed program of study. If you are currently enrolled in a school, send the transcripts as they are at present and re-submit transcripts once current grades are posted. It is preferred that the institution send the transcripts directly to the Admissions office. If you have the transcripts sent directly to you, DO NOT OPEN THE TRANSCRIPT ENVELOPES. Those that have been opened or tampered with will be considered unofficial and will delay the admissions process.

Please order your transcripts early, so that you do not miss the departmental deadline! (It can take up to four weeks to receive transcripts.)

NOTE: Do not list study abroad programs separately on the application form if they are included as part of a transcript program from an accredited U.S. Institution.

Admissions Office Address:

1. A Letter of Intent: This is your opportunity to tell the program faculty about yourself. It need not be extremely detailed, but should provide information about your areas of interest, previous experience, and goals. The graduate program to which you are applying can provide more information on its expectations.
2. A minimum of three letters of recommendation are also required as part of any (i.e. paper or online) application. You are responsible for completing the blanks at the top of each letter of recommendation (name, program, etc.).  The persons who recommended you may choose to return the sealed recommendations to you or directly to the department to which you are applying. Letters that are being directly submitted should be mailed to the graduate program to which you are applyingnot to the Admissions Office. It is important that you provide to each person providing a recommendation a stamped envelope addressed to the department to which you are applying. This information ensures that all materials related to your application are easily identifiable.
3. Some graduate programs require additional materials, such as GRE scores, slide portfolios, writing samples, tapes, etc. Check with the program for specific requirements.

If you have any questions about the application procedure, please contact your graduate program or the Admissions Office at (505) 277-2447.
