Transcript: All transcripts, both undergraduate and graduate (if applicable), from institutions outside the US or Canada, require a course-by-course evaluation. We will accept evaluations from the following agencies: World Education Services, Inc. (WES) Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) Curriculum Vitae: The resume should be a chronological listing of your employment history, educational history, academic endeavors, and other significant activities. Personal Statement: The Statement of Purpose should be 2-3 pages in length, double-spaced. It should describe your academic and professional background, plans for graduate school, your professional goals, and how and why you are a good fit for the program. It should be tailored to Teachers College and your specific program of interest. Recommendation Letter: We strongly encourage applicants to submit letters of recommendation through our Application. Applicants should request letters of recommendation from individuals who can speak from personal knowledge on your academic or professional qualifications for graduate study. Whenever possible, recommendations should be written by academic sources. If you have been out of school for a number of years, professional recommendations may be used in most cases. Recommendations written by family members or friends are not appropriate for the purposes of this application. Please note, some programs may require three letters of recommendation. Consult your program website and the Area of Study section for more information. With regard to waiving or not waiving your right to review your recommendations, please be mindful that once you make this selection, it cannot be updated. Writing Sample: The writing sample (10-15 double-spaced pages or approximately 3,000 – 4,500 words) should be an essay that shows how you approach a given text or subject and that possesses critical sophistication. It is usually—but not necessarily—a paper written as a final requirement for a course or a well-chosen fragment of an undergraduate or M.A. thesis. It should have a bibliography that evinces research and an awareness of previous critical work on the topic. It should preferably be written in Spanish, but a paper written in English that is indicative of your critical and interpretive skills will also be acceptable.
