The Graduate School requires an official course by course credential evaluation of all foreign transcripts indicating that, at minimum, the US equivalent of a bachelor’s degree has been awarded by an accredited college or university. An iBT TOEFL score of 18 on each section for a total minimum score of 78, IELTS score of 6.5, is required to meet the language exam requirement. The paper- or computer-based TOEFL exam is accepted by request only. Official reports of standardized admissions test results must be sent directly to the Graduate School by the testing service (GRE or GMAT).

Along with the ECU Graduate School application form, a resume or curriculum vitae, two letters of professional and/or academic recommendation, a statement of purpose, official transcripts, and the GRE score are required. TOEFL is an additional requirement for the applicants whose native language is not English. Your statement of purpose should include your goals, experiences, and reasons for applying to the master of arts program in the School of Communication and should be no longer than 750 words. Submit all materials to the ECU Graduate School by the deadline set by the School of Communication.
