An application form is available on-line from the Graduate Admissions Office at 406 Penn St, Camden, NJ 08102, or by calling (856)225-6104. An applicant to the program should have a grade point average of "B" or better in his/her undergraduate major.

Your application packet must include:

• your official transcript (3.0 GPA preferred)
• 2 letters of recommendation (these should be from former professors or other people who can comment on your intellectual abilities and academic skills. Recommendations from employers, friends, or relatives are not as useful.)
• a writing sample (an undergraduate research paper is ideal, or something that shows your ability to do academic writing)
• a personal statement (Please explain why you are applying to the program, what your intellectual interests are, and what you hope to gain from participating.)

Please note that the GRE (Graduate Record Exam) is NOT required for admission. Finally, although there is not a formal deadline for application, students who wish to enter the program in the fall should apply by August 15, and students seeking spring admission should apply by December 15.

To check on the status of your application please contact the Liberal Studies office at 856-225-6700 or send an e-mail to the director of the program, Prof. Stuart Charmé (scharme@rutgers.edu)
