Overview
Doctoral candidates complete 16 courses beyond the bachelor's degree or equivalent; at least eleven of these must be taken at Rutgers.
The qualifying examination is designed to develop in-depth knowledge of two subject areas and to provide a head start on doctoral research. Preparation for the qualifying examination allows students to choose a field and design a research topic under the close guidance of advisors.
Features
- Candidates in the doctoral French program at Rutgers University specialize in literary and cultural topics from the Middle Ages to the present.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Doctoral candidates are required to complete 48 credits of work beyond the B.A.
- In addition, they are allowed to take three more credits in a field outside of but germane to French.
- The total of credits obtained outside the French Graduate Program, including foreign literature courses, should not exceed 12 beyond the B.A. (i.e., for both the M.A. and the Ph.D.).
- Credit for graduate work taken at other institutions may be accepted in partial fulfillment of the course requirement (see above, Admission), but in no case (except “cotutelles,” see below) will the doctoral candidate complete less than 33 credits at Rutgers.
- Rutgers is a member of the Inter-University Doctoral Consortium (other members include Columbia University, the City University of New York, Fordham University, the New School University, and New York University), and has a long-standing exchange program with Princeton University.
