The Division of the Humanities Master of Arts Program in Humanities (MAPH) is typically a one-year program, however students can also apply to the MAPH Two-year Language Option (TLO). The MAPH TLO was designed for students who require extensive language skills that exceed the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities' (MAPH) traditional one-year curriculum. This language component is ideal for students who are interested in translation studies, need advanced proficiency for admission to a PhD program, or would like to pursue language study to enhance their academic work. TLO students must begin language study at the intermediate level or higher in at least one language.

TLO students take 9 language courses at the intermediate and advanced levels—in addition to the regular MAPH curriculum of 1 Core course, 7 electives, and 1 thesis—over two academic years. Students also have the opportunity to use the three summers of the program for language study on campus or abroad.

The minimum requirement is a 3.3 GPA for admission into the MAPH TLO program via the 4+1 program. Students should indicate which MAPH Program they’re interested in – the one-year program or the two-year TLO program.

• Maintain 3.3 GPA during your time in the College.

• Recommend taking at least one intro biology and one college math/stats class during your time in the College.
