Admission to the Humanities Division

Admission to the Division

Students from other colleges or universities should apply for admission to the division through the Office of the Dean of Students, Division of the Humanities.

A student with a bachelor's degree or with a master's degree will, in general, be considered for admission on the basis of his or her academic record and on the recommendation of the department or committee under whose guidance the student wishes to study.

All students in the division are expected to acquire foreign language competence sufficient for advanced study in their degree programs; for further information on these requirements, please see the statements of the departments and committees.

 Admission as Student-at-Large

A person who is qualified for independent study, but who is not seeking a degree, may be admitted to the division as a student-at-large. Admission is considered upon the basis of a formal application, transcripts of former academic work, and a statement of purpose. U.S. citizens and permanent residents should apply for admission through the University's Graham School of General Studies. International students should apply directly through the Office of the Dean of Students, Division of the Humanities.
