Dear Professor Eckstedt:
Please find enclosed a proposal from the French Graduate Program for a
change in course requirements for the M.A. and
,
Ph.D.
These changes were approved unanimously by the French Graduate Program
Committee.
The representatives from the Graduate Programs of the Departments of
Linguistics, Spanish and LAS, and French met today and agreed to
give each other full autonomy - Re: calendar changes within the
Graduate Program of Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics.
May I therefore request that you place our proposal on the agenda of the
next Faculty of Arts Graduate Studies Committee meeting?
We would very much appreciate it if we could meet the October 12 deadline
at the Dean of Graduate Studies office.

Language Requirements
Students are expected to show some knowledge of at least
one language other than English and French.
a) for removing the reaulrement of a course in General Linguistics.
1.
it is not permitted to require a course in another
department, thereby requiring that the other department
accept a student from another department.
2.
a student preparing a degree in French does not
necessarily have the prerequisite preparation in General
Linguistics expected by the Department of Linguistics for
graduate courses in that area.
• ?
b) for enlarging the option to satisfy course requirements in part by
taking courses outside the department.
1. to permit greater freedom of choice to the student, with
respect to acceptable related areas of study, by not
restricting the option to General (or Romance) Linguistics.
C)
for removing the requirements to take another course outside
the French Department in addition to the 20 hours of graduate
course work and a thesis of 10 hours.
1.
see a) 1. above
2.
to bring requirements for the M.A. in French in line with
university requirements, and the norm for requirements
within the Faculty of Arts, for the M.A.

An editorial change in fact since it was not a requirement although
