ADMISSION to GRADUATE STUDY

ADMISSION • DEGREE REQUIREMENTS • ASSISTANTSHIPS

An application for Admission to the Graduate School can be obtained from the Speech Communication, Theatre and Dance Department office by writing to: Speech Communication, Theatre and Dance Department, 129 Nichols Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506 (Telephone: 785-532-6875).

To be admitted as a graduate student, an applicant must have obtained a bachelor's degree from a four-year accredited college or university and must have at least a 3.0 grade point average (based on a 4.0 system) for the last two years of undergraduate work. Students may be admitted provisionally if there is uncertainty in evaluating transcripts, as in the case of some international students, or if there are undergraduate deficiencies which must be removed. For those students who do not meet the grade standards above, probationary admission may be granted, provided there is other evidence that the applicant has the ability to do satisfactory graduate work.

Students must have completed all requirements for their undergraduate degrees before enrolling for coursework in the graduate program. Send the completed application for admission, letters of recommendation, and all official transcripts to Dr. Charles Griffin, Graduate Coordinator, Department of Speech Communication, Theatre and Dance, 129 Nichols Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International applicants for admission to Kansas State University must meet the same academic standards of admission as those required of native students. International applicants must mail to the Speech Communication, Theatre and Dance Department their application for admission, letters of recommendation, and official transcripts from each college or university attended. Also, international applicants are required to submit proof of adequate financial support. Send all admission materials to Dr. Charles Griffin at the above address.

In addition, the Graduate School requires each foreign applicant whose native language is not English to demonstrate facility in the English language by making a satisfactory score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The TOEFL is offered several times a year in the student's home country through the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey. For complete information concerning the TOEFL examination, international applicants may want to write to: Test of English as a Foreign Language, Box 899, Princeton, New Jersey 08541, USA.

Furthermore, all international students entering Graduate School will be required to demonstrate proficiency in written and oral English at the time of enrollment. Students who fail to meet this requirement must enroll in and satisfactorily complete ENGL 075, SPCH 065, or both, as appropriate.
