The Graduate School requires students to complete at least two Residence Units for the M.A. degree, with some exceptions. These are the free-standing M.A. programs in French
Cultural Studies in a Global Context; Japanese Pedagogy; and the Liberal Studies M.A. programs in American Studies, East Asian Studies, Human Rights Studies, Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, Modern European Studies and South Asian Studies, in which students register for courses but not for Residence Units. The requirements of individual departments
and programs,
Students enrolled in Ph.D. programs must pursue the degree full-time and complete the M.A. degree within four consecutive terms. Students may register part-time in certain specific free-standing M.A. programs. The Half and Quarter Residence Units are especially designed to
accommodate these students.
Once all
requirements have been completed, the student must apply for graduation in order to receive the M.A. degree. Degrees are awarded three times a
year - in October, February, and May - and each degree conferral date has a corresponding deadline for the application for graduation. Applications received after the deadline are automatically applied to the next conferral date.
