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.
