Admission Requirements

Admission

The M.A. degree in Italian or an appropriate equivalent (e.g., the five-year laurea or master in Lettere from an Italian university) is the normal prerequisite for admission to the Ph.D. program. Students with training other than an M.A. in Italian or a five-year laurea or master in Lettere are encouraged to apply, with the understanding that prerequisite courses may be required of successful applicants during the first year in residence.

Please note: on applications forms, students with degrees from universities outside North America must take care to provide titles of degrees accurately, not as equivalents of U.S. degrees.
