The deadline to apply for admission with funding is <\/span>February 1.<\/b> Applications after that date may still be considered for admission, but cannot be considered for tuition waivers or graduate teaching assistantships. <\/span><\/p>\n

The most important part of the application is the writing sample. <\/span>Your writing sample should be 10 pages for poetry and 20 pages for prose or a multi-genre application. Poetry should be single-spaced; prose should be double-spaced. Submitting a longer sample is acceptable, but the committee might not read beyond the 10- or 20-page minimum—basically, it will neither hurt nor help your chances.<\/span><\/p>\n

Submit strong, fresh work that best represents your writerly voice and current artistic interests and impulses. It may be in a single genre or multiple. Your application will also include a personal statement, which is typically one to two pages, and at least two letters of recommendation, along with the regular requirements for NAU graduate admission (transcripts, etc.) Recommendations can be uploaded directly from recommenders, or you can use a dossier service such as Interfolio (have them sent to creativewriting@nau.edu <\/a><\/span>and we will get them added to your file). Most people solicit one or both of their recommendations from former professors and teachers, but we are flexible and open to a wide range of life experiences that may draw upon other sources of recommendation who can speak accurately to your intellectual curiosity, your character, and your work ethic. <\/span>If you are applying for a Graduate Teaching Assistantship, <\/b>be sure your recommender comments on your ability or potential for teaching.<\/span><\/p>\n
