Students with bachelor’s degrees in any field will be considered for admission. For admission, a student must also present the following:
- A strong record of previous academic achievement
- A personal statement, from three hundred to five hundred words long,
describing the student’s objectives in applying to DePaul’s M.A. in
Writing program and his or her plans for the future.
- A portfolio (approximately 25 pages) of representative nonfiction writing
(for example, academic papers or work-related writing) for evaluation.
Students with interests in creative writing may substitute up to ten pages
of poetry or prose fiction, but the remainder must be nonfiction.
Scores in the Graduate Record Examination General Test or letters of recommendation, though not required, may be submitted to strengthen an application. Students applying for graduate assistantships must submit these GRE scores. Two letters of recommendation attesting to the candidate's ability to succeed in graduate study are also required for those applying for graduate assistantships.
