Degree requirements

The applicant has the choice of the following programs:

  1. 36 semester hours, including 6 hours of thesis; at least 24 hours of course work must be completed in the major; a minor of 6 hours OR 6 hours of transfer credit are permitted; or
  2. 36 hours of course work, without thesis; at least 30 hours must be earned in the major; a minor of 6 hours OR 6 hours of transfer credit are permitted.

A master’s degree candidate in French must take a written comprehensive examination in the major field or select the thesis option.

With the approval of the chair of the department, the master’s thesis may be written in French.
