The one to two-page personal essay should describe your academic and career objectives and how participation in the TCNJ Master of Public Policy program will advance your personal and professional goals. The brief writing sample (3-5 pages) should give the admission committee a good sense of your academic and professional writing ability. The writing sample can be from work you have submitted for a previous course or a policy-related job or internship. Submitting a portion of a longer written work is acceptable.
