Degree Requirements for Current Students

Departmental degree requirements change periodically. Assume that the requirements in force when you began your course of study are the set of requirements to be satisfied, except when one chooses to follow more recently established requirements. Procedural changes occur only with the approval of the faculty and the Departmental Chairperson. 

Students admitted into the graduate program are admitted for the Ph.D. degree. The situations under which the M.A. degree is awarded are discussed in the page on Completion of the M.A. degree.
