University Scholars
The University Scholars Program opportunity offers particularly gifted and highly motivated students the option of integrating their undergraduate and graduate courses of study in a single continuous program culminating in both a baccalaureate and a master's degree in French and Francophone Studies, German Studies or Classics in 5 years. The total number of hours for the combined program may be as many as 12 less than the total required for the bachelor's and the master's or doctoral degrees separately. The requirements for the bachelor's degree are unaffected. Students with 15-30 AP or dual credits may be eligible for a 4-year option in French and Francophone Studies, German Studies or Classics.
Application to the program should be submitted at the end of the student's junior year, so that in the student's senior year advanced courses in Classics, French, or German count toward a Masters in those languages or toward the Masters of Teaching World Languages. More information on requirements and application instructions can be found here.
