Foreign applicants must present scores on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and on the TSE (Test of Spoken English) if they wish to hold a teaching fellowship. Professor Baker would also appreciate receiving a sample of your written French (e.g., a copy of a term paper for a a course recently taken), a sample of your oral French (a two-to-three minute cassette recording of a prose passage) and a brief(typewritten) letter of purpose. This letter should summarize your academic and non-academic background (with special reference to the field of intended studies); your aims and goals for graduate studies and professional future; and any other factor that could be helpful to evaluate your application. Once we have all the documentation, the Office of Admissions will send us a referral on you, to which we will respond as promptly as possible.

Foreign applicants must also provide proof of a financial responsibility in the current amount of $22,060 per twelve-month period for a total of two years (total: $44, 120). the salary of a teaching assistant together with attendant fee waiver, can be computed into this total. Assistantships and fellowships are available on a competitive basis. The necessary application forms will be mailed on request.
