Program Completion
To remain in the fast track program, students must receive no grade lower than a B in any graduate seminars taken as an undergraduate, selected with the advice and approval of the Modern Languages graduate advisor. Undergraduate students who do not maintain grades of B or A in the graduate courses taken will be unable to continue in the fast track program but, if the courses are completed passing, will still receive credit toward their undergraduate degree requirements. Students originally denied entry into the fast track program, discontinued after provisional admission, subsequently dropped or opting out are still welcome to apply to the Modern Languages MA in the usual way and will be considered without prejudice.
