Ph.D. Students who enter without an M.A. will generally work for
their M.A. on the way to the Ph.D. This requires either a formallydefended
thesis or written qualifying exams combined with a highquality
paper or research report. With their adviser's permission,
they may opt to bypass the M.A. Knowledge of a foreign language
or of statistics may also be required by the student's supervisory
committee.
Students enrolled in the M.A. program who wish to continue their
studies for a Ph.D. must apply to the Department for certification.
In most cases, candidates for the Ph.D. must achieve competency in
a language other than English. Entering students who have earned a
master's degree may apply for direct admission to the doctoral
program.
New students are admitted into the graduate program only in the
fall of each academic year. The deadline for receiving completed
applications for admission into the graduate program is December
15, though the department encourages early applications.
