The following materials go to the Graduate School (Office
of Graduate Admissions, 225 Bascom, 500 Lincoln Drive, Madison, WI

School Application (online)
On the online application, you will need to list 3 people who will write letters of recommendation for you. (Remember to check the "email request" box when listing recommenders on the application.) At least one of the letters should address your overall proficiency, creativity, and style of expression in the French language. These may be professors, instructors, supervisors, or anyone who is familiar with your work and may give us a sense of your readiness for our program. Since the Graduate School will contact your recommenders directly via e-mail, be sure to contact each recommender at least a month prior to when the letter of recommendation is needed to let them know that they will be contacted directly by the Graduate School.
- $45.00 Application Fee
