Languages & Literatures      Graduate Programs (Suspended)

 

 
 

   The Department of Languages and Literatures suspended its graduate programs indefinitely in 2002. 

   The following information is for those students currently completing their graduate degrees with us. Though the Department of Languages and Literatures generally has no specifically separate graduate curriculum, we do offer advanced courses (3000 level) for our own MA candidates and for cognate studies of degree candidates in other programs. Independent Study opportunities are available in the diverse literary, cultural, and critical specializations of our international faculty. Any graduate courses have, at the minimum and with noted exceptions, a prerequisite of at least two years of college-level study of the language under which they are listed.

  Our admission requirements are listed below; please read through all the information for the degrees offered. If you would like more specific information on any of our programs, feel free to fill out the On-Line Graduate Inquiry Form, or contact us directly at:
