Admission to the M.A. in Language, Literature, and Translation Program (MALLT)
Applicants must pass a qualifying exam in their language pair for admission. For more information and to register for the exam, please see Qualifying Exam.
Applicants must also apply to the MALLT program. Applicants must provide a detailed application statement, three academic letters of recommendation, and official copies of transcripts for previous undergraduate and graduate work. Applicants who completed undergraduate degrees outside the U.S. have additional application requirements. For detailed information about the admissions process for U.S. and International applicants, please see the MALLT Admission Procedures.
Application deadlines for the MALLT program are as follows:
- Fall semester admission – December 15 of previous year
- Spring semester admission – September 15 of previous semester
If you have missed the application deadline for the semester in which you would like to enroll, you may apply as a Non-Degree Certificate Student. The Non-Degree admission process can be completed within a month, and up to four courses (12 credits) completed as a Non-Degree student may be counted toward the MA upon admission to the degree program.
