Transcript: Official transcripts for all previous undergraduate and graduate work. Personal Statement: The statement of purpose is an essay of approximately five pages (double-spaced). It may substitute for the autobiographical statement required by the Graduate School and it should discuss in some detail the kinds of issues the student expects to explore in this graduate program, including the significance of those issues. Applicants should be as specific as possible in explaining how their intellectual project would benefit from the comparative, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary perspectives offered by the Department and from the resources (faculty, courses, programs, collections) of The Ohio State University. Information about academic background, special experiences, and career goals may also be included. If admitted, students will design, with the help of faculty advisers, a program of coursework, including courses in other departments, to fit their research needs. Recommendation Letter: The three recommendation forms and letters should address the applicant's academic abilities and preparation for graduate work in the student's chosen area. Students should request that recommendations be submitted online. Writing Sample: The writing sample. In addition to the statement of purpose, applicants should submit an academic paper, preferably of no more than twelve pages. Ordinarily, this will be a paper submitted previously for undergraduate or graduate credit and should represent the student's best work.
