Transcript:
We require one copy of the official, confidential transcript from each institution (undergraduate and graduate) that you have attended. These transcripts are essential parts of your application. Send transcripts from any institution where you earned (or will earn) a degree, studied for one year or more, or took classes that relate to your current application for graduate study.
Personal Statement:
Your personal statement should help us to know you as an individual. It should provide information about your professional goals and discuss your interest in political science including your particular area of desired study.
Recommendation Letter:
Three letters of recommendation are required. They should be written by individuals, usually professors or instructors, familiar with your work, and thus best qualified to testify to your capacity for graduate study. These letters must be sent directly to us by the person writing the recommendation, either electronically through our application website or sent with other supporting documents in envelopes that are sealed and signed across the flap by the recommender.
