If I am a native speaker in a NELC language, may I enroll in NELC’s M.A. program and use my native tongue as my primary language of study?
Yes. Native speakers are still be required to take an M.A. exam in that language, and the advisory committee will decide what the nature of that exam will be. The exam may involve knowledge of grammar and/or an ability to translate from English into the native language. It also may serve to examine that language in a specific historical period and/or may involve other aspects of language study to be determined by a student’s committee. You will be expected to demonstrate more sophisticated skills and responses for the specialization exam.
