M.A. in Czech Literature
Program of study: Two residence units are required for the M.A. degree. The program is normally completed in two or
three semesters.
Part-time students in
the Free-Standing M.A. program must complete the program within four years.
Courses: 30 points at the graduate level, including:
-
at least 12 points in Czech literature;
- the Proseminar in Literary Studies (SLLT G8001);
- Master’s Research Instruction (SLLT G9000);
- 3 additional points of Directed Research for the completion of the M.A. essay; and
- the Practicum in Foreign Language Pedagogy (PEDG G4000), taken ideally during the first semester of language teaching.
The remaining points may be taken in related fields of history, linguistics, comparative literature and society, or other Slavic literatures. Two of the electives in literature or related fields may be taken for R credit, in addition to Master’s Research Instruction, which all students take for R credit; all other courses should be taken for a letter grade. Note that Directed Research in Czech Literature (CZCH G8001-G8002) may be repeated, since the content varies.
Languages:
1. Demonstration (by examination) of an advanced level of proficiency in Czech.
2. An additional Slavic language, particularly Russian, is encouraged but not required.
M.A. Essay: minimum of 50 pages, begun during the second semester in the context of Master’s Research Instruction and submitted in final form no later than the end of the third semester of study. See
M.A. essay guidelines for further details.
