A minimum of 30 hours of graduate-level coursework is required for the M.A. (24 hours for the M.A. thesis option). For the Ph.D., 60 hours of coursework beyond the B.A. are required, along with a dissertation (30 credit hours of research). For full-time students, the M.A. program normally takes four semesters to complete. Graduate students receive college-level teaching experience while pursuing their degrees. Because of the favorable faculty-student ratio, individual guidance of student programs of study is possible, and graduate classes and seminars are small.
All students admitted to graduate programs in SLC receive full funding support through a graduate teaching assistantship, research assistantship, fellowship, or other form of graduate support. Funding packages include a competitive stipend as well as tuition remission.
