Candidates for the MA must take a total of 30 units of graduate coursework (of which 24, or 8 classes, must be in regularly scheduled literature courses unless otherwise approved by the Program Director), demonstrate reading knowledge of a foreign language, and pass a final examination based on reading lists approved by the faculty. Candidates take the final MA exam shortly after completing coursework, normally no later than the fourth semester in the program. A candidate who fails the MA Examination may, upon the recommendation of the committee and the Graduate Literature Director, be granted a second examination. The results of the second examination are final.
