For unconditional admission, candidates must meet the following standards for at least three of the four criteria. UT Arlington undergraduates whose GPA equals or exceeds the minimum described above and who have graduated in the last three years with a major in English or closely related program qualify for a waiver of the GRE admissions requirement.
A deferred decision may be granted when a file is incomplete or when a denial is not appropriate. An applicant who is unable to supply all required documentation prior to the admission deadline but who otherwise appears to meet admission requirements may be granted provisional admission.
For both the MA and PhD programs, students may be admitted on probation under one of two scenarios:. Students on academic probation must make no grade lower than a B in the first 12 hours of their graduate work in order to remain in the program.
Students who wish to pursue the MA but who do not have an undergraduate major in English may be required to take between 3 and 12 hours in specified advanced undergraduate courses and make no grade lower than a B.
These courses will not be counted for graduate credit, but instead will provide the necessary background for pursuit of the advanced degree.

A deferred decision may be granted when a file is incomplete or when a denied decision is not appropriate. An applicant unable to supply all required documentation prior to the admission deadline but who otherwise appears to meet admission requirements may be granted provisional admission.
Admission will be denied if the application materials 1 do not meet the standards in three of the four categories; or 2 if the materials do not meet the standards in two of the categories, and in the remaining two categories meet the standards but in an unexceptional manner. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with the Graduate Advisor or Graduate Coordinator in planning their coursework, in order to develop a coherent focus and to ensure that they take all required courses.
Near the end of coursework, students must establish a dissertation committee and identify the chair, who will become their primary advisor. The committee will help students develop three subject area reading lists for their written comprehensive examination, which will be taken after they complete their coursework and satisfy the foreign language requirement. By the end of the first semester after successfully completing the comprehensive examination, the student must submit a dissertation prospectus to their committee.
The dissertation must be an original, substantial and significant contribution to a scholarly field. Students should work closely with the chair of their committee while researching and writing their dissertation. Once the student, the chair of the committee, and the primary readers agree that the dissertation is sufficiently completed, the student may schedule the defense.
The student must furnish each committee member with a copy of the dissertation, including notes and bibliography, at least three weeks prior to the defense date. The defense of the dissertation is oral. Here are some scholarships we have available to you!
