PS Statement of purpose, personal achievements/contributions, and a detailed curriculum vitae (submitted in the online application). Note that you should indicate the professors you would like to work with in your statement of purpose. If you cannot locate the professors in our list of afilliated faculty, you can still indicate the name of the professor(s) in your statement of purpose, as we can affiliate them later. Make sure you also address why you want to study in our doctoral program and why Comparative Literature is your choice of intellectual project. Please also describe your comparative project carefully, taking into account the requirements of our doctoral program and our learning outcomes. Fee All applications require a non-refundable application fee of $?105 for domestic applicants, and $125 for international applicants. No application will be processed until the application fee has been received. This fee can be paid by credit card or with a check/money order using the Check/Money Order Submission Form found on the last page of the application. RL Three letters of recommendation. Please note your recommenders need to submit their letters electronically. You will be prompted to enter information about your recommenders when you fill out the online application.
