graduate education at the Martin School, and hope to make your application
process as smooth as possible. To apply for Martin School master and
doctoral degree programs, you will need to send some application materials

School.
For the Martin School application, we ask for three letters of
recommendation, a one- to three-page statement describing why you wish to
pursue your graduate degree, and an information form that tells us about

optional, is useful for PhD applications. An optional resume may be
included in with any application.
