Admission

All applicants to the graduate program in Hispanic Studies must supply Graduate Record Examination scores for the verbal, analytical, and quantitative tests. Applicants must also submit a Statement of Purpose, writing samples, and letters of recommendation. Any applicant whose ultimate goal is a Ph.D. should indicate the Ph.D. as their "primary degree objective" on the application.

In addition, all applicants whose first language is not English must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). This exam is administered by the Educational Testing Service and offered in nearly every country abroad. This exam must be taken within two years of the time you intend to enroll at UCR. The minimum acceptable score for the written exam is 550: for the computer-based exam it is 213.
