Each student's study plan, when combined with the undergraduate English major, should meet the following basic requirements by the time graduate courses have been completed. At least 40 units must be in English, with no less than 24 units in graduate courses at the 600 levels. COmpetency may be demonstrated by an academic transcript indicating that courses have been taken through the intermediate level in college or by an examination administered or approved by the Department of Modern Languages. Full time students are invited to applt for a teaching assistantship.
Teaching assistants receive a stipend and partial scholarship.
