Students enrolled in the Master of Letters (M.Litt.) degree program have two options:

• completion of nine courses (27 credit hours) and a master’s thesis of 50-75 pages.
• in lieu of writing the thesis, students may elect to take two additional courses for a total of eleven (33 credit hours).

In either case, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or better in order to graduate.
