Director of Graduate Studies:
Professor David G. Goodman Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 707 S. Mathews, Rm. 2090A Urbana, IL 61801 Phone: 217-244-1432 FAX: 217-244-4010, e-mail: dgoodman@uiuc.edu Applicants to the graduate program must submit a completed application for admission, including three letter of reference from faculty members, advisers, or recent employers; Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical); and full transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work completed. Applicants are expected have earned a minimum grade point average of 3.3 (A=4.0) or the equivalent for the last 60 hours of undergraduate coursework and any graduate work previously completed. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in at least one East Asian language; normally, this means a minimum two years of formal study. Students whose native language is not English must score 600 or above on the TOEFL (250 or above on the computerized version) to be eligible for admission with full standing. Note: Financial aid awards are contingent upon passing an approved test of spoken English. For details on approved tests and minimum acceptable scores, visit the web site of the Center for Teaching Excellence (http://www.cte.uiuc.edu/Did/TAs/index.htm). Foreign students should take an appropriate test at the earliest possible date, ideally before applying to the Program. Doing so will expedite acceptance and financial aid decisions and speed up the visa application process. Note that applications and test scores may be submitted separately. Please note: International applicants must submit their completed Declaration and Certification of Finances Form at the time of application. The application deadline for full consideration is January 15 for Fall admission. (East Asian Languages and Cultures does not accept Spring admissions.) |
