MASTER OF ARTS DEGREE |
CHANGES
IN
THE
MA
PROGRAM
IN
FRENCH
(Effective
June
2003) |
There are a
number of
structural
and
curricular
differences
between the
previous MA
program
and the new
one. These
differences
lie not only
in the type
of courses
required as
part of the
program,
but also in
the specific
format and
requirements
of the
culminating
exams (Comprehensive
Exam,
Research
Seminar
and
MA Thesis).
The most
important
changes in
the MA
program can
be
summarized
as follows:
-
Students can
now
specialize
in one of
two
concentrations
(Literature
or
French
Studies)
-
Students can
now take
only those
courses that
are
specifically
tailored to
their
specific
areas of
interest.
Each of the
two
concentrations
in the new
MA contains
three
categories
thematically
organized
around sets
of courses
that allow
students to
custom-build
their own
course of
study
without
compromising
the breadth
and depth of
their
training.
- The
program has
enhanced its
multicultural
content,
and now
offers a
more
effective
exploration
of the
diversity
inherent in
the
French-speaking
(Francophone)
world. A
number of
new courses
have been
developed
specifically
to meet the
multicultural
requirement
of our
program.
- The
Comprehensive
Examination
is no longer
the only
exit exam
option.
Students
wishing to
graduate
from our
program now
have the
option of
either writing an
MA Thesis or
simply
taking the
Comprehensive
Examination.
- The
Research
Seminar is
no longer a
duplicate of
the MA
Thesis.
It has now
been changed
into a core
required
course that
will train
all of our
MA students
in the art
of doing
research and
writing
research
papers, thus
preparing
them more
appropriately
for advanced
graduate
work.
