Entry requirements

An Master of Arts (MA) in French is prerequisite to admission to the Doctor of Philosophy program in French and Francophone world studies. However, successful completion of an MA in French does not necessarily qualify a student for doctoral study. Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate College; see the Manual of Rules and Regulations on the Graduate College website. Applicants for the fall semester whose application materials are received in the department by Jan. 15 have the best chance to be admitted and receive financial aid.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate and professional admission requirements, costs and deadlines are set by each degree programme; applicants apply through the Admissions Profile application and may apply to only one programme unless applying to a combined degree programme.
