Doctor's degree
German Studies
|
|
|
The first year of work, which leads to the M.A. degree, is designed to introduce each student to the three major areas of study. During Spring Quarter of the first year, all students, except those admitted with a master's degree, must take an oral M.A. examination. During the one-hour examination, the student is questioned by three examiners, chosen by the student, on work undertaken in specific graduate courses.
By July 1 of the summer following the first year of graduate study, students should present as a qualifying paper an example of their course work. Although ordinarily not meant to represent an original contribution to scholarship, it should demonstrate the candidate's ability to grasp complex subject matter with sufficient competence to organize materials and to present arguments in a clear and concise manner commensurate with scholarly standards. The paper is submitted to the department chair, who passes it on for approval by the student's faculty adviser and a second reader appointed by the chair in consultation with the adviser.
The Ph.D. in German Studies offers joint programs with Comparative Literature, Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, Linguistics, and Modern Thought and Literature.
