Admission to the graduate certificate program involves exactly the same admission requirements as admission to other graduate programs:
  • College transcripts
  • Admissions tests
    • Admission to the graduate school requires satisfactory scores on one of the major standardized tests.
    • The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is offered on Wednesdays at 9 a.m., at least twice a month. A score of 413 is sufficient for unconditional admission. Scores are good for five years. See Testing Services for cost and scheduling details.
    • The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is offered four times a year and is recommended for students who anticipate going on to a doctoral program after completing their master's degree. A score of 1500 is sufficient for unconditional admission. Scores are good for seven years.
    • For further information about test dates, call Testing Services, 256 824-6725, or check their website at http://testing.uah.edu/
  • Review by the English Graduate Faculty
Students may be admitted to graduate school conditionally or unconditionally. Unconditional admission requires a GPA of 3.0 on undergraduate work and satisfactory test scores. Students may be admitted conditionally with lower test scores, a GPA of 3.0 on the last 60 hours of undergraduate work, or other variables as determined by the English Graduate Faculty.
