Our department welcomes all who have decided to pursue an advanced degree in the Indiana University Department of Linguistics.

• Graduate Record Examination (GRE) – scores are good for up to 5 years
  • Note: GRE scores are not required for admission into any of the graduate degrees in the Department of Linguistics, so these fields may be left blank in your application.
• TOEFL exam (International students) – Passing score of 92 IBT (580 paper-based) or 7.0 on the IELTS
• Official transcript(s) – listing grades in each course taken at accredited institutions of higher learning 
• Three letters of recommendation
• Statement of purpose (300-700 words) – This should provide a thoughtful, informative statement detailing your reasons for wishing to pursue a graduate degree in the Department of Linguistics and the direction of study you intend to pursue.
