Master of Arts (French Language)

The growing interest in the French language as well as in the French Studies triggered by opportunities in the job market urged the Department to institute the only graduate studies program in French in the country today. The program offers the students two areas of specialization: one in language and literature and another in translation.

Applicants shall be admitted after passing an interview and a written test in the target language. Depending on their level of competence in the language, applicants who are non-French majors may likewise be required to complete a minimum of 18 units of advanced undergraduate courses from the areas of concentration, six units of cognate courses, a comprehensive examination and completion of a special project.
