Program Description
This MA degree is granted “en route” to the Ph.D.


Admission Requirement
To receive this master’s degree, the doctoral student must complete the requirements in core courses (12 semester credit hours minimum), specialty area (12 semester credit hours minimum), and enrichment (12 semester credit hours minimum) and present a portfolio of work appropriate for the master’s degree as determined, read, and approved by the student’s Doctoral Advisory Committee. This portfolio will be the basis of an oral comprehensive exam appropriate for the master’s degree administered by the doctoral advisory committee. The portfolio for the master’s degree will include, but may not be limited to, a major example of the student’s work from each of the three divisions of courses in the Ph.D. program (core, specialty, and enrichment). At least one of these three major examples of the student’s work will be a significant presentation of the student’s writing. All requirements for approval of credit in core courses, specialty area, and enrichment that apply for the Ph.D. program also apply for a doctoral student who requests the MA in Heritage Studies.
