After acceptance as a regular admission student into the English MA Program and a minimum of twelve hours of coursework, you must declare a major. By declaring your major, you establish a degree plan with the Office of the Registrar and file for degree candidacy. You must declare your major before you are allowed to take the comprehensive examination, write a thesis, transfer credits from previous graduate work, and substitute courses. To declare your major and qualify for degree candidacy, you must:
If you have fulfilled all these requirements, submit a Declaration of Major Form to the Director of Graduate Studies in English. You may either download the form and submit it to the Director as hard copy or fill it out on line and send it as an e-mail attachment. Fill out the form as follows:
After departmental approval, the form is forwarded to the Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. After approval by the Dean—and your recognition as a candidate—copies of the form are sent to the Registrar, who then establishes your degree plan, and to the Director of Graduate Studies in English, who places a copy in your departmental file.
