The M.A. in Applied Linguistics requires the successful completion of 36 credits, a comprehensive exam, and a thesis. The 36 credits include a core of 21 credits required of all students. The remaining 15 credits will be chosen from among the approved electives in consultation with the Graduate Advisor.
All courses are three credits.
Students with an undergraduate major may be exempt from LNGN 500. Such students will choose an additional elective course to complete their required 36 credits. Students who already hold New Jersey State certification and who are seeking additional certification in TESL must choose these electives. All students must take a comprehensive examination within one year of completing the course work. The exam will take approximately fours hours and must be written without the use of notes, books, articles, tapes, or other materials.
