Additional Information For Applicants

Goal Statement Guidance

Begin by writing your Goal Statement, which should include the requisite List of Courses, following the directions provided on the Designing Your Degree Program page. If you would like to discuss your Goal Statement or need advice on your List of Courses, please contact the program coordinator.  It is advisable to have the program coordinator check your List of Courses prior to submission.

Recommendation Letter Tips

Ask three former professors or instructors who can describe your qualities as a student and the likelihood of your succeeding in graduate study to submit letters of recommendation. You may provide these individuals with your Goal Statement, so that they can speak to your specific proposed individualized program of study. If you have been out of college for some time and are no longer in contact with your college professors, you can consider asking  your employers or others who can speak to your work ethic.

In all cases, it is very important that these letters come from individuals who can provide objective evaluations of your qualities. They should therefore not come from personal friends, family members, your employees, or anyone else who might be less than objective.

Also, make sure to pick individuals who will write you substantive letters. Letters from individuals who write only a few sentences or who do not know you or your work well will not help your application.

Make sure the individuals whom you ask for these recommendations indicate in their letters that you are applying to the Masters of Liberal Studies program.
