PhD Program:

Competence in the languages of primary research (as determined by the Major Professor, in consultation with the Graduate Committee) must be demonstrated prior to advancement to candidacy. In addition, students must demonstrate competency in a second language, the language of scholarship. 
 

MA Program:

The MA does not have a language requirement. Any student who does not meet the English proficiency criteria described in the Graduate Student Course Requirements – English as Second Language Policy (GC2018-02) is required to enroll in an appropriate English language course as listed in the policy. Any courses taken in satisfaction of this requirement do not count towards the units required for graduation.
