Certificate in Multicultural and Transnational Literatures
Application Procedures
There are several ways you can be admitted to the Multicultural and Transnational Literatures Online Certificate program. To apply, you must submit an application online the graduate school website.
1) As a nondegree student
If you wish to be admitted as a nondegree student, you can begin this process two weeks before the start of classes. Nondegree status requires an application form, fee, and transcripts.
2) As a nondegree Certificate student
Nondegree Certificate status requires application form, fee, and transcripts.
Because ECU must receive copies of transcripts from all institutions where you have completed courses before you can be enrolled, you will want to begin the application process about 6 weeks before the start of class.
3) As a degree-seeking MA student
Degree-seeking MA status requires application form and fee, transcripts, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and GRE scores. See MA degree admissions.
Note: While the Graduate Certificate can be a pathway to a Masters Degree at ECU, such as the Masters Degree in English with a concentration in Multicultural & Transnational Literatures, completion of the Certificate does not guarantee admission into a graduate degree program. Application to the graduate degree program must be made separately. If all 12 s.h. of certificate credits are to count towards a graduate degree at ECU, application to the degree program must be made before half of the certificate hours (6 s.h.) have been completed. A maximum of 9 non-degree s.h. can be applied toward a graduate degree.
If you plan to complete the Certificate and go on to earn an MA, you should consider enrolling as a degree-seeking student from the beginning.
