The system will allow you to submit up to three, but usually a third letter is not required unless there are special circumstances surrounding your application. Academic references, especially those that can speak to your senior undergraduate or most recent graduate experience, are generally preferable to references from employers. If you have experience working in a history-related field or if you believe that an employer can best speak to your current abilities, then this is a good situation to use the option of a third letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please ensure that the email addresses you enter for your referees are correct.&nbsp;Once you are registered in the online system, Carleton Central will send an electronic invitation to your referees so that they can fill out a letter of reference. In order to give your referees time to do this, it is a good idea to make sure you register well in advance of the due date (January 15) in order to avoid delays in processing your application.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-what-should-be-in-my-statement-of-intent\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    What should be in my statement of intent?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-what-should-be-in-my-statement-of-intent\">\n            \n\n<p>A Statement of Intent is generally focused on the research project you intend to pursue, either as a thesis, a dissertation, or as a research essay. As far as possible at this stage, explain your research interests; what questions are you asking, what is your geographical region, what is the time period you are studying? What sources (or types of sources) do you intend to use, and how are you planning to approach the topic? Although not required, applicants are also encouraged to comment on why Carleton would be a good place to pursue your research.&nbsp; Of course, we expect that all research projects will change over time, but being able to articulate your interests in this way is an important first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you put down in your statement will give the graduate committee a good sense of who might supervise your topic and how the department can support it through resources and course work. It is often a good idea to make some of these connections yourself, linking your work to particular areas of strength offered by the department. If you have an idea of who might supervise your research, feel free to mention it. If you have been in touch with particular members of the department about your project, please include this information in your statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may wish to take some time to explain how you came to the topic, explain certain things about your academic record, or introduce your writing sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often helpful to prepare the Statement of Intent well in advance and to provide potential referees with a copy. This will improve their ability to speak to your research interests, and you might gain valuable feedback from them on your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Statement of Intent should be between 1 to 2 single-spaced pages in length, although we expect that doctoral applicants should use the full two pages to outline their research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-what-can-i-use-as-writing-sample\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    What can I use as Writing Sample?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-what-can-i-use-as-writing-sample\">\n            \n\n<p>Ideally, the writing sample should be a recent piece of writing that demonstrates your ability to work with both primary and secondary sources, showcases your ability to analyse and interpret texts, and offers a sense of your writing style. It can be a paper from a course, a publication, or a chapter from a thesis or longer research essay.&nbsp;&nbsp; The writing sample does not need to necessarily match your intended project, although in some cases you may want to emphasize your background and abilities in a particular research area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The writing sample should be 20-40 pages for Ph.D. applicants, 10-20 pages for M.A., applicants.

If you are admitted to one of our programs as a full-time student, you will likely receive a detailed offer of funding which may include a combination of scholarship money and a Teaching Assistantship. Teaching Assistantships for full-time students are guaranteed for one year (two terms) for one-year programs, two years (four terms) for two-year programs, or four years (eight terms) for the doctoral program. The exact amounts are negotiated through a collective agreement, but in 2015, TA funding was $10,288 per year. Funding packages can vary, depending on a wide variety of factors, and all funding offers must be approved by the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs. For more details, contact the graduate supervisor (paul.nelles@carleton.ca). The Department encourages all eligible students to also consider applying for external scholarship awards, such as the Ontario Graduate Scholarship and SSHRC MA or PhD fellowships ( http:\/\/graduate.carleton.ca\/financial-assistance\/external-awards\/ )<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-do-you-admit-international-students-into-your-program\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Do you admit International Students into your program?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-do-you-admit-international-students-into-your-program\">\n            \n\n<p>Please note that we are rarely able to offer institutional funding to International applicants at the MA level.
