Our M.A. and Ph.D. students are mentored by our faculty, engage in substantive research projects, and benefit from rigorous training in the teaching skills required by the profession. They graduate prepared to meet the demands of highly competitive academic positions in the United States and Latin America.
The University of Maryland’s Graduate School accepts applications through its ApplyYourself application system. Before completing the application, applicants are asked to check the Admissions Requirements site for specific instructions.
All application materials must be submitted electronically.
Completed applications are reviewed by an admissions committee in each graduate degree program. The recommendations of the committees are submitted to the Dean of the Graduate School, who will make the final admission decision.
Applicants are encouraged to contact the Hobsons online application’s helpdesk for any technical issues. For questions related to the admissions process, prospective students may contact the Graduate School.
*Due to deferrals, graduation delays during pandemic, and reductions in available funding, admissions to our graduate programs will be more competitive for Fall 2021. Applicants should note that we are an affirmative action department and that we remain especially interested in recruiting strong African-American, Hispanic-American, and Native American students to our Ph.D. and M.A. programs.
