- Why are you interested in studying this field?
- Name two faculty with research interests in your area. Include their home departments and relevant research interests. If a research interest isn’t obviously related to your field, explain its relevance.
- Although you’re required to take only four, list six courses that address your field and explain how each fits into your planned studies.
You’ll also be asked to provide:
- Personal Information: name, email, phone, EID
- School Information: major, college, expected date of graduation
- Proposed name of field
