The Degree of Master of Arts

Graduate work is offered leading to the degree of Master of Arts in the fields of Comparative Literature.

To receive the degree of Master of Arts from Dartmouth College, a graduate student must have spent at least three terms in residence at Dartmouth and must have received credit for eight courses at the graduate level. These courses may be replaced in part by research or special study approved and supervised by the department accepting the student for graduate work, provided that not more than four of the required courses may be so replaced. Additional requirements may be imposed by the individual departments.

Candidates whose preparation is deemed deficient by the department accepting the candidate may be required to correct this deficiency by taking courses in addition to those required for the degree.
