Write a letter to apply for a college.
Dear Mrs. Cooper:
I am interested in graduate study in economics, with the eventual goal of teaching at the college level, and would like to talk with you about the requirements of your department.
After my graduation from Pittsburgh State, in 1983, I worked for several years before my marriage as a stock analyst for the firm of Long and Short. During that time I completed three graduate courses at Open University, but did not finish my master’s degree. A resume of my background and experience is enclosed.
I could probably manage almost a full schedule if necessary. However, I would prefer to begin on a more limited basis if this could be arranged.I will call your office in a few days for appointment.
Sincerely
(Signature)
Elizabeth Hagins
Enclosure
