Statement of Purpose
The Statement of Purpose that is submitted to the UGA Graduate School during the application process can be the same as the Statement of purpose requested on the IPS form, as long as the length (10,000 character limit) and content are within the stated guidelines. We highly recommend that your statement include the following at the very least:

your reason(s) for pursuing graduate study
your interests (e.g., names of faculty, interdisciplinary groups, and/or graduate programs)
evidence of scholarly activity (e.g., research experiences, manuscripts published/in preparation)
any special circumstances of which you wish to make us aware
if applicable, explanations for any perceived deficiencies in your application

Submit an official online application to the UGA Graduate School, and route required transcripts (unofficial transcripts sufficient for initial application review), letters of recommendation, and optional GRE scores as instructed during the application process.

GRE is not required but accepted as supplemental application material.
