Departmental Statements of Purpose and Questionnaires
Most programs of graduate study require applicants to upload an original Statement of Background and Goals with their application. The statement should include a brief description of the applicant's field of interest, related background, desired area of study and research emphasis or career goals.
A number of programs also request submission of area specific statements of purpose or supplemental questionnaires that assist their faculty in the evaluation of the applicant's qualification for graduate study. A listing of those areas requiring program specific statements of purpose or questionnaires is below.
