Students entering the PhD program with a master’s degree already in hand averaged a 3.8 graduate GPA. CV Resume/Curriculum Vitae A resume or curriculum vitae detailing your academic and/or work experience. Fee The application fee. Domestic applicants = $75. International applicants = $100. RL Three recommendations are required by the UGA Graduate School. These are to be sent directly via the Graduate School's on-line application system. You will need to submit the names and emails of your recommenders in the application. Please do not send us hard copies of actual letters. Please do not send us additional letters or recommendations. The first three received on record will be accounted for. Recommendations should make a strong case for your ability to succeed in a history graduate program. Optimally, you should obtain references from professors who have taught you. Their recommendations should describe your academic work in detail so that our departmental Graduate Studies Committee can be assured that you can complete a rigorous graduate program. If you have done significant independent research, such as a thesis, the committee normally expects a recommendation from the professor who supervised that work.
