Applicants are required to submit an admissions portfolio directly to the Graduate College along with their other materials. The portfolio must demonstrate the applicant's mastery of undergraduate writing skills and will be reviewed by the MATC Program faculty.

Portfolio Overview

The portfolio should be in PDF format and include the following:

  1. A professional letter at the beginning describing and explaining the materials within the portfolio and the applicant’s role in creating those materials (writing, editing, and/or designing).
  2. A Statement of Purpose that explains the applicant’s reasons for wanting to earn a M.A. in Technical Communication.
  3. At least two nonfiction prose documents totaling a minimum of 15 typed double-spaced pages or the equivalent in single-spaced pages.

The portfolio will be kept on file with the applicant’s other materials.
