Writing Requirements for Admission
If you do not have a sample of undergraduate writing from a 4000-level course, then you will need to complete a writing sample from the prompts.
Pick one of the topics listed and write a 500-word essay and then upload your finished work into your application account with the College of Graduate Studies.
NOTE: Your application for admission as a graduate student will not be processed without a writing sample.
Writing Prompts/Topics (choose one)
1) Discuss a time when you have failed at something and tell about what happened as the result.
