Introduction to Romance Linguistics (FOL 6735), French Phonetic

degree and specialization. For details, consult the appropriate
graduate coordinator. The Department is able to offer most
students a teaching assistantship that covers tuition and provides a
maintenance stipend. Contingent on positive performance in
teaching and graduate work, normally a master's student has at
least four semesters of support and an M.A./Ph.D. student has at
least ten. In addition there are several fellowships for which
students may apply.
Incoming students are encouraged to apply as early as possible,
preferably a full year ahead, since some deadlines for submitting
applications occur during the fall of the year prior to enrollment. All
materials for applications to either program must be sent by
February 1 (international applicants) or April 1 (domestic
applicants). For current information about graduate programs in the
Department, visit http://www.languages.ufl.edu/french/index.html.
The combined B.A./M.A. programs in Spanish and French allow up
to 12 graduate credits to be double counted toward fulfillment of
both degrees. Contact the graduate coordinator for qualifications
and details.
