程序的问题
我们同时提供M.A. 和Ph值.D. 度. 得到M.A. degree from the BC 程序 does not guarantee entry into our Ph.D. 程序, which has a separate admissions process.
Ph.D. 学生 must enroll full-time during their first two years in the 程序. M.A. 学生 are welcome to enroll part-time but must take at least four courses (12 credits) during the regular academic year.
所有Ph值.D. 学生 receive multi-year fellowships featuring a Teaching Assistantship,全额学费减免, 还有每年的津贴. The department does not offer funding for M.A. 学生 but, on occasion, we are able to hire M.A. 让学生做助教. These positions come with a monthly stipend.
可能不是. You may petition to get credit for one or two courses, but it is usually best to follow the prescribed course of study toward the degree and take as many courses as you can.
