Education: Prospective Students

Apply to Concentrations

Students interested in applying to an AME concentration must:

• Submit the Graduate College online application, selecting the home department degree program and coordinating AME concentration.
• Send sealed transcripts and three letters of recommendation to the Graduate Admissions Office:

  Graduate College
  Arizona State University
  Interdisciplinary Building, B-Wing, Room 285
  PO Box 871003
  Tempe AZ 85287-1003

• If required by the department, submit GRE scores directly to the Graduate College.
• International students are required to submit a TOEFL score to the Graduate College.
• Visit the department's Web site to determine whether supplemental application materials are required. If so, send them directly to the department.
• Determine the department's application deadline. Observe the earlier of the department's deadline or Feb. 1, 2009 (AME's application deadline). Departments also may have audition deadlines, etc. Please observe all department application requirements.

AME requires that students submit a curriculum vitae (CV) and statement of purpose. Most concentration students will have the opportunity to upload these when completing the online application. If you do not have the opportunity to upload them during the online application process, please e-mail them directly to ameed@asu.edu. For students interested in funding opportunities with AME, the statement of purpose must fulfill any requirements of the department and also address the transdisciplinary nature of the Arts, Media & Engineering Program. Applicants should explain in a concise and persuasive manner how their educational, professional and personal experiences inform their research and creative interests, writing on any aspect of their background that supports candidacy to the AME Program. Students not interested in funding opportunities with AME should primarily focus their application documents towards achieving admission in the home department.
