| Name: | PCC Proposal to Discontinue the M.A. in Comparative Literature |
| Proposed: | 10/16/2009 |
| Sponsor: | PCC Committee |
| Proposal: | In Spring 2007, the Comparative Literature Program merged with the English Department and completed its transformation from a six-year combined M.A./Ph.D. program (with the option of a terminal M.A.) to a 4-year Ph.D. program. At the time of the merger, no M.A. student remained in the program. Pre-merger students were allowed to finish their degrees according to the guidelines of the old program. Six pre-merger students, who have complete M.A. degrees, remain in the pipeline; all are nearing completion of the Ph.D. Applicants are now expected to have completed an M.A. before beginning the CMLT Ph.D. program. If an extraordinary B.A.student applies to the CMLT Ph.D. program, she or he will be directed to the appropriate M.A. program and efforts will be made to coordinate the admissions and funding. This approach was used successfully to recruit a CMLT flagship fellow, who entered in Fall 2009 as an English M.A. |
