• One year of a foreign language at the university level (may be taken while in graduate residence).
• Résumé.

The essay should demonstrate an ability to follow a scholarly format such as MLA or APA.
• A computer-based score of 233 (or 91 internet-based score) on the Test of English as a Foreign language (TOEFL) if an applicant is from a country where English is not the official language, or if an applicant’s degree is not from an accredited U.S. institution, or if an applicant did not earn a degree in a country where English is the only official language or a university where English is the only official language of instruction.

Application Requirements

• The GRE is not required for admission to this program.
• Two letters of recommendation from faculty members or others familiar with applicant’s academic potential.
• One year of a foreign language at the university level (may be taken while in graduate residence).
• Résumé.
• A Statement of Background and Goals of 600-1000 words.
  • The goal statement should provide a narrative of your progress and how a Master’s degree in Technical Communication fits into this trajectory. In other words, tell us where you have been, where you are, and where you wish to go. It is also very important that you demonstrate some knowledge of what Technical Communication is; the most common reason for otherwise solid applications to be turned down is the lack of knowledge of what Technical Communication is and how it fits into your plans.
  • To begin writing your goal statement, review the MA in Technical Communication on the Department of English’s web site.  You might look at the kinds of courses that are offered in the MA program or what the members of the faculty have specialized in.  What interests you in the program?  How will it help you in your career?
  • You don’t have to know everything about every course or faculty member. You do not have to have a deep understanding of every industry, non-profit, government, educational, medical, or scientific organization that you see yourself working in some day.  A letter of application or personal goal statement is a document that lets the admissions committee know that you have some sense of what the program is about and that you have thought about this before applying. You can reach out to UCF faculty who teach in the program to see what they think.

• A Professional Writing Sample of approximately ten pages needs to accomplish two tasks. First, it functions as a sample of your ability to communicate well in prose. Second, it should demonstrate a capacity to think logically and to translate this thought into well-organized language. In many cases, the writing sample will have originally been created for an undergraduate class, but this is not a requirement. The writing sample can also be a professional document that you wrote by yourself.
• A computer-based score of 233 (or 91 internet-based score) on the Test of English as a Foreign language (TOEFL) if an applicant is from a country where English is not the official language, or if an applicant’s degree is not from an accredited U.S. institution, or if an applicant did not earn a degree in a country where English is the only official language or a university where English is the only official language of instruction. Although we prefer the TOEFL, we will accept IELTS scores of 7.0.

Generally, applicants who meet all of the above requirements but do not have an undergraduate degree in History must complete 12 hours of history course work at the 3000 and 4000 level, with a 3.25 GPA in these courses, before entering the graduate program. These courses will not count toward the graduate degree. The History Department Graduate Committee can waive this requirement, in whole or in part, when applicants present evidence that they are capable of successfully completing graduate history courses.

If, in addition, applicants do not meet one of the other requirements for entry, such as a GPA of 3.0 in all work attempted while registered as an undergraduate student, or while registered as an upper-division undergraduate student (normally based on the last sixty attempted semester hours), they must complete 12 hours of course work at the 3000 and 4000 level with GPA of 3.5 before they can be admitted to the graduate program.

Meeting minimum UCF admission criteria does not guarantee program admission. Final admission is based on evaluation of the applicant’s abilities, past performance, recommendations, match of this program and faculty expertise to the applicant’s career/academic goals, and the applicant’s potential for completing the degree.

Readmission

The UCF SMST Graduate Programs will consider applications for readmission from students who have been dismissed and/or deactivated from its degree programs. Those interested in readmission MUST consult the Modeling and Simulation Graduate Program Director prior to their application to determine their eligibility to reapply and the requirements for their application.

Prerequisites

Though UCF SMST does not have a mandated prerequisite for its graduate programs, the most successful students are those who have an academic and/or work background that has prepared them in mathematics (introductory calculus and probability and statistics) and computer literacy, preferably familiarity with at least one higher order programming language (e.g., Python, C/C++/C#, Visual Basic, Java, etc.). Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in Engineering, Computer Science, or Mathematics will generally have this background.
Students without this background are encouraged to select the elective course IDC 5570 (Introductory Mathematics for Modeling and Simulation). This course will prepare them for the required core course COT 6571 (Mathematical Foundations of Modeling and Simulation).

Application Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in music from a NASM accredited school or the equivalent.
• The GRE is not required for admission to this program.
• Two letters of recommendation.
• A formal writing sample of at least 1000 words, which should represent the applicant’s best scholarly work. The topic should be on a musical subject.
• Applicants for the Conducting Concentration will submit a conducting/rehearsal audition of approximately 20 minutes on a repertoire to be agreed upon with the UCF Director of Bands, Director of Choral Activities, or Director of Orchestras (based on an area of focus), in consultation with conducting faculty. A video or remote live conducting example may be substituted at the discretion of the faculty. Applicants will also meet in an interview with UCF conducting faculty.
• Applicants for all other areas within the Music Studies Concentration will require an Admission Examination with a faculty committee. This examination will consist of an interview or audition or portfolio review as appropriate according to the applicant’s goals. The applicant will consult with the Graduate Coordinator in advance to prepare for presentation in appropriate areas of interest to the candidate, such as performance, composition, music history, etc. It is highly recommended to attend this examination in person, although the use of audio and/or video recordings is possible, with the permission of the Graduate Coordinator. The faculty committee will evaluate the candidate and make a recommendation regarding admission. The final decision will be made by either the Graduate Coordinator or Director of the School of Performing Arts.
• Applicants applying to this program who have attended a college/university outside the United States must provide a course-by-course credential evaluation with GPA calculation. Credential evaluations are accepted from World Education Services (WES) or Josef Silny and Associates, Inc. only

Meeting minimum UCF admission criteria does not guarantee program admission. Final admission is based on evaluation of the applicant’s abilities, past performance, recommendations, match of this program and faculty expertise to the applicant’s career/academic goals and the applicant’s potential for completing the degree.

Applicants may be given conditional admission, conditional to the imminent completion of the bachelor’s degree and submission of a final transcript.

After acceptance and at the beginning of course work, students will take a diagnostic exam in Music Theory. If remedial course work is required in the case of deficiencies, this will not count toward the total hours for the degree.

Students may transfer up to nine hours of graduate credit from another accredited institution, subject to approval of adviser.
