Masters exam or thesis
Students in the Masters programs in French and Francophone Studies must either complete a comprehensive exam or write a thesis. The exams or thesis are done during the second year, usually in the spring semester, with written and oral components. The graduate handbook has a detailed timeline for preparing the exams and thesis.
Other degree requirements
Students should complete a Plan of Study in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies and file the form via GradPath no later than their second semester in residence. The Plan of Study should list all courses that you have taken, are taking, and plan to take as part of your Master's program curriculum. Students complete the form online and pay the fee. The Graduate College requires that the Plan of Study be submitted during the second semester in residence. The Director of Graduate Studies and Graduate Service Coordinator for SILLC will assist in revising the POS, as needed, if the planned curriculum changes.
Independent Study: When a student is interested in a topic/area that is not addressed at all by regular course offerings, up to three credits of Independent Study (course) may be counted toward the degree, pending faculty availability and DGS approval.
Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
