What are the foreign language requirements for the PhD?
The Department requires a high pass (P+) on one or more written language examinations given by the Test Administration Office. Students must take a language examination during the first quarter of residence. Students who do not receive a high pass the first time should devote special attention to improving their skill, and are required to repeat the exam quarterly until a high pass is achieved. It is mandatory that students receive a high pass in at least one language examination before the beginning of the second academic year. In fields where more than one language is required, the additional requirement(s) must be satisfied before the proposal hearing.
