Does the department require an interview or special visit prior to acceptance?
No, there is no interview included as part of the admissions procedure. We do, however, encourage those who are accepted to come visit us in Bloomington in the spring after they have been accepted into the program. We will be happy to schedule an individual visit for you to provide you the opportunity to meet with the Director of Graduate Studies, current faculty, and graduate students. Every effort is made to provide as much insight and information as possible to help prospective graduate students make an informed final decision. Students typically find these visits most useful in the spring semester after they have been admitted to the program.
