The Department
Chair of the Department: C. Doutrelepont
Departmental Supervisor of Graduate Studies: C. Duff
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 FREN 5800, FREN 5907, FREN 5908, and FREN 5909, 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.
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 4000-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 4000-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.
The following three options are available:
- Comprehensive Examination.This option involves 4.0 credits, of which at least 3.0 credits must be chosen from courses at the 5000-level; and an oral and written Comprehensive examination (FREN 5907) equivalent to 1.0 credit, in which the student demonstrates a good grasp of the tools and methods of scholarship, and competence in three chosen specialized areas
- Research Essay (M�moire de recherche). This option involves 4.0 credits, of which at least 3.0 credits must be chosen from courses at the 5000-level; and a Research Essay equivalent to 1.0 credit (FREN 5908), with an oral examination
- M.A. Thesis. This option involves 3.0 credits of which at least 2.0 credits must be chosen from courses at the 5000-level; and a master's thesis equivalent to 2.0 credits (FREN 5909), 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 5000-level courses offered by the Department.
Guidelines for Completion of Master's Degree
Normally, all full-time students are expected to fulfil 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.
