The Department
Chair of the Department, D. Rosse
Departmental Supervisor of Graduate Studies, C. Doutrelepont
The program of studies leading to a Master of Arts degree in French
offers to the student the opportunity to specialize in one of the following
areas: linguistics, literature or translation. The availability of a variety
of courses and the existence of 20.580, 20.597, 20.598, and 20.599, in
which the student establishes course content in consultation with his/her
adviser, allow for considerable flexibility and choice in wide ranging
or highly specialized studies
NOTE: See Cultural Mediations for our new doctoral program.
Qualifying-Year Program
Applicants who hold a general (3 year) bachelor's degree with at least
B standing or higher, with a major in French, are required to register
in the qualifying-year program (normally 5.0 credits in French chosen from
those numbered at the 400-level), and maintain at least B+ standing
overall, before proceeding to the M.A. program.
Qualifying-year students should consult the Undergraduate Calendar
for a listing of 400-level courses.
Master of Arts
Admission Requirements
The normal requirement for admission into the master's program is a B.A.(Honours)
in French with at least high honours standing (normally B+ or better
in Honours subject; B- or better overall).
Program Requirements
Students establish their programs in consultation with an adviser from
the Department who will normally be the Supervisor of Graduate Studies
or the professor with whom they take 20.597, 20.598, or 20.599.
The following three options are available:
* 4.0 credits of which at least 3.0 credits must be chosen from courses
at the 500-level; and an oral and written examination (Comprehensive) equivalent
to 1.0 credit, in which the student demonstrates a good grasp of the tools
and methods of scholarship, as well as competence in three chosen specialized
areas,
* 4.0 credits of which at least 3.0 credits must be chosen from courses
at the 500-level; and a Research Essay equivalent to 1.0 credit (French
20.598), with an oral examination,
* 3.0 credits of which at least 2.0 credits must be chosen from courses
at the 500-level; and a master's thesis equivalent to 2.0 credits (French
20.599), with an oral examination.
With the approval of the supervisor of graduate studies, M.A. students
in French may select the equivalent of 1.0 credit at the graduate or senior
undergraduate level outside the 500-level courses offered by the Department.
Guidelines for Completion of Master's Degree
Normally, all full-time students are expected to fulfill the requirements
of the M.A. program by the end of the fifth term of study. Generally, students
should be able to complete their program within four terms.
Students are required to file with the Department of French a detailed
proposal of their thesis, research essay or comprehensive exam. Full-time
master's candidates are required to submit this proposal by the end of
the ninth month of full-time registration.
Academic Standing
A grade of B- or better must be obtained in each credit counted
towards the master's degree.
