Note: The application deadline for fall admission has changed from February 1 to January 18.
Students must send two separate applications: to the University and to the English department.
Please keep in mind that the University application must be sent several weeks in advance of the Department application.
Important: The University Graduate Application also includes a generic department application form. Please do not use the generic department form. Use the
English Department Graduate Application form instead.
If you have questions about the admissions process, please contact James Bauer, Graduate Program Administrator.

Not ready to apply yet? Been away from academic
life for a while? If you already have a B.A, why not try a graduate course in English or Writing as a post-baccalaureate student?
Many graduate classes accept post-bac students, and it is an opportunity to try out advanced study in the field, as well as to meet
our faculty and current graduate students. Graduate credits can be transferred into our Masters program, if you are accepted later,
up to 16 credits. PSU's Admissions website has information on
applying as a post-baccalaureate student.
