Interview

Porfolio (optional)
If you do have previous academic or professional experience in a communication or media field, submitting samples of your work will make your application stronger. The best way to submit your portfolio will be to provide a link to an external website or to create a PDF document with links to your work online and upload it as a supplemental item in the online application system. Make sure to submit your portfolio BEFORE the application is complete and all other required supporting documents have been received by the Admissions office. The Admissions Committee is unable to review portfolios after the application is complete.

Two letters of recommendation
Letters should be from academic or professional persons who can attest to your ability to successfully perform in a graduate program or qualify for the work you have performed. We strongly recommend that at least one of the letters be from a faculty member who knows your work well.

Admissions Essay
In about 500-1,000 words, we ask that you describe your motivation for seeking graduate study in your chosen program at the School of Communication.

What specific personal, academic and/or professional experiences will contribute to your success in the program?

How do you envision your degree will further enhance your academic and/or professional goals

Resume
Your resume/CV allows the review committee to assess your background and previous experiences and will serve as the detailed source of information about your employment.
