DEGREE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE M.A.

To qualify for this dual-title degree, students must satisfy the requirements of the French and Francophone Studies Master of Arts degree program, listed on the Degree Requirements tab. In addition, they must satisfy the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program requirements for the dual-title master’s degree. Refer to the Degree Requirements section of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Bulletin page. Some courses may satisfy both the graduate primary program requirements and those of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program. Final course selection is determined by the student after consulting, in advance, with their French and Francophone Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies advisers.

For students who elect to write the thesis for the dual-title M.A. degree in French and Francophone Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, the thesis must reflect the student’s education and interest in both French and Francophone Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. All members of the student’s thesis committee must be members of the Graduate Faculty. The master’s thesis committee must include at least one Graduate Faculty member from Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Faculty members who hold appointments in both programs’ Graduate Faculty may serve in a combined role.

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PH.D.

The dual-title Ph.D. in French and Francophone Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies requires between 30 and 42 credits beyond the master’s degree.

QUALIFYING EXAMINATION

The dual-title degree will be guided by the qualifying examination procedure of the French and Francophone Studies graduate program. Dual-title graduate degree students may require an additional semester to fulfill requirements for both areas of study and, therefore, the qualifying examination may be delayed one semester beyond the normal period allowable. There will be a single qualifying examination, containing elements of both French and Francophone Studies and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

The qualifying examination committee for the dual-title degree will be composed of graduate Faculty from French and Francophone Studies and must include at least one Graduate Faculty member from the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program. The designated dual-title faculty member may be appointed from French and Francophone Studies if that person holds a formal affiliation with the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program.
