For the other specializations (Literature & Writing, American Studies, and Folklore), the main deadline is January 15. By this date, the following materials should have arrived at Utah State:
- All application materials to the Graduate School
- Writing samples to the English Department
- Graduate Instructorship application to the English Department (if you are interested in teaching for us)
Meeting this deadline will allow us to give you a timely decision about your application, and it will give you the best chance for a Graduate Instructorship. Most Graduate Instructors for the next year are selected in February/March.
June 1: We have a published final deadline of June 1 for applications for fall semester. However, since applications are reviewed by faculty members and very few of them are on contract during the summer, the chances of application materials being reviewed in time for fall semester drop sharply after the end of the spring semester (the beginning of May). Most, if not all, Graduate Instructorships are awarded in February or March.
Spring admission: Applicants who would like to be considered for admission to the American Studies, Folklore, or Literature & Writing programs in the spring semester should have all their application materials delivered to us no later than the end of November (for Technical Writing the deadline is November 1). Since training for new Graduate Instructors is conducted in August and through the fall semester, students who are admitted in spring semester will not be eligible to work as GIs that semester. They should, however, submit their application for a Graduate Instructorship by January 15 to be considered for a position starting in fall of the same year.
