What is the deadline for submitting an application?
The deadline is March 1 for fall admissions and September 1 for spring admissions. If you are interested in pursuing your Ph.D. via this proposed program, please let us know early so that we can help you with the admissions process. Based on the first year’s applications and acceptances, we believe that this program is among the most competitive PhD program in the country. Persuasive and convincing admissions materials are going to be critical in the application process. Your letters of recommendation, writing sample, and personal statement will be filed in the department. In addition to these departmental components of the application, you will also need to file a Graduate School application (GRE scores, transcripts, and application fee) at www.ttu.edu/gradschool. You can send electronic materials via e-mail attachment to the graduate advisor in TCR: (english.tc@ttu.edu) or the graduate secretary (christy.a.barbee@ttu.edu).
The deadline for early decision applications is November 15 of the senior year. You are notified by December 15 if not earlier. The deadline for regular decision applications is April 15. Our “rolling admissions” policy means that students are notified as soon as possible after we have received their credentials. The deadline for transfer applications is August 1. Spring application deadline is December 1.
