Master's Requirements
Applicants to the Master of Arts program are expected to have completed the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in either English or another language, or else to have a strong minor in one or more of these areas as part of a liberal arts background. Undergraduate courses in two of the following - world literature, literary criticism, classical literature, medieval, Renaissance, or Eighteenth-, Nineteenth-, Twentieth-, and Twenty-first-century literatures - are additional prerequisites. Applicants lacking some of the foundations but otherwise well qualified may be admitted on the condition that they take certain prerequisite courses without credit.
