Graduate study is offered in the Department of Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures leading to the degree of Master of Arts. Areas of study are French, German, and Spanish. The degree program is offered on the Starkville campus.

Admission Criteria

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required for admission to the M.A. program in Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures. International students are required to have a TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score of 525 PBT (70 iBT) or an IELTS (International English Language Testing Systems) score of 6 or better for consideration. In order to receive full consideration for an assistantship, applicants are encouraged to submit all materials, including the Application for Graduate Assistantship, by April 1.

Provisional Admission

An applicant who has not fully met the GPA requirement stipulated by the University may be admitted on a provisional basis. The provisionally-admitted student is eligible for a change to regular status after receiving a 3.00 GPA on the first 9 hours of graduate courses at Mississippi State University (with no grade lower than a C). The first 9 hours of graduate courses must be within the student's program of study. Courses with an S grade, transfer credits, or credits earned while in Unclassified status cannot be used to satisfy this requirement. If a 3.00 is not attained, the provisional student shall be dismissed from the graduate program. Academic departments may set higher standards for students to fulfill provisional requirements; a student admitted with provisional status should contact the graduate coordinator for the program’s specific requirements. While in the provisional status, a student is not eligible to hold a graduate assistantship.

Academic Performance

Continuous enrollment in the University or in a specific graduate program is dependent upon a satisfactory evaluation of academic performance and progress toward the completion of a specified degree. A student’s progress is considered satisfactory unless judged otherwise by the department and/or the dean of the college offering the program. Unsatisfactory performance may be defined as the failure to maintain a B average in graduate courses attempted after admission to the program, a grade of U, D, or F in any course, more than two grades below a B, failure of the preliminary/comprehensive examination, an unsatisfactory evaluation of a thesis or dissertation, failure of the research defense, or any other failure of a required component of one’s program of study. Any one of these, or any combination of these, may constitute the basis for the termination of a student’s graduate study in a degree program; individual programs have the right to establish their own criteria.

To be eligible for the preliminary/comprehensive examination, a graduate student must maintain an overall B average in all graduate courses attempted after admission to the program.

Graduate teaching assistantships, awarded on a competitive basis, are available. In order to receive full consideration for an assistantship, applicants are encouraged to submit all materials, including the Application for Graduate Assistantship, by April 1.  For additional information, contact the Graduate Coordinator.
