Admission Requirements
The entering master’s degree student must have a bachelor’s degree, with a major in any discipline. Reading and speaking knowledge of Spanish or Portuguese is required.
Students must hold a master’s degree by the time they enter the doctoral program. On rare occasions, admission to the doctoral program may be granted to students without a master's degree; such students are required to earn the master's degree en route to the PhD.
