• Biographical Sketch - On a separate sheet of paper, provide a brief narrative description of yourself, explaining why you are a strong candidate for this program. This statement should deal with your personal history, family background, intellectual interests, educational achievements, cultural opportunities to which you have been exposed and ways in which these experiences affected you.  See these tips for writing your biographical sketch.

A copy of the one-page grade report is acceptable for UNI summer and short-term faculty led programs. Do NOT submit your degree audit.
