FAQs

With the exception of the core courses and directed independent study courses, you can enroll in the other courses as a non-degree-seeking student, provided there is room and you obtain permission of instructor. If subsequently you are accepted into the program, you may request to have the credits for those courses used for program requirements, provided you have received a grade of B or higher. Final approval rests with the Ph.D. Executive Committee.

Students who have taken courses in the Ph.D. program may petition to transfer up to nine credits towards the degree, with the approval of the Ph.D. Executive Committee.

Students who are transferring into the program from other Ph.D. programs may petition to transfer up to 18 credits of work toward program requirements, with the approval of the Ph.D. Executive Committee.

The Ph.D. in Comparative Studies Program for the Cultures, Languages, and Literatures track only accepts applications for the Fall semester of each academic year. The deadline for Fall admission to the CLL Program is January 15th. Please note that this deadline differs from the Â鶹ŮÀÉ application deadline of July 1. Acceptance is limited to 15 students in each cohort. There are a limited number of teaching assistantships awarded; preference is given to students qualified or in training to teach undergraduate courses in the departments of English and Languages, Linguistics and Comparative Literature.

The only way to apply to our graduate program is to apply online. Depending on your Internet connectivity speed, you should be able to complete the online application in 15-20 minutes. Download the Â鶹ŮÀÉ graduate application form: www.fau.edu/graduate/applyonline/index.php.

Since your application is handled by several offices before reaching the Ph.D. program office, it helps if you attach a cover letter indicating that you are applying to the Ph.D. in Comparative Studies. In this cover letter, you may wish to indicate

what, if any, parts of your application are not yet complete (e.g., letters of reference)
whether you wish to be considered for a teaching assistantship
any other relevant information

In a cover letter (see #5) that accompanies your Â鶹ŮÀÉ graduate admissions application, indicate

that you wish to be considered for a teaching assistantship
which language(s) you are proficient for teaching in (Graduate Teaching Assistantships are primarily available in English, French, Italian and Spanish.)

If you are awarded a TA-ship, you must enroll as a full-time student (nine credit-hours per semester). You then are required to teach at least one undergraduate course in both the Fall and Spring semesters. The teaching assistanship includes a $19,500.00 stipend as well as a tuition waiver. However, you will be responsible for student fees

Please be aware that a GPA average of 3.5 is a minimum requirement — that is, this minimum requirement needs to be met in order for your application to be considered for admission to the program.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is recommended, but not required for admission.

It varies depending on whether you attend full- or part-time. If you attend full-time, it takes up to three years to complete the course requirements. The time it takes to write a dissertation is, of course, dependent upon each individual.

All Ph.D. students should have an approved Plan of Study on file with the Graduate College no later than halfway through their required course work and before enrolling in dissertation credits, if applicable. Ph.D. students will submit their Plans of Study electronically. For more details, please follow www.fau.edu/comparativestudies/resources/pos

Note: Ph.D. students can now revise their approved plans of study online using the MY POS system. Please note that if you have an approved paper POS on file, you must use the paper revision form (Form 9) to modify your POS.

To be admitted to candidacy you must have

completed the required coursework and degree requirements
received approval of your Plan of Study by the Graduate College
passed the appropriate comprehensive examination(s). Click here for guidelines
submitted the appropriate forms:
Advancement to Candidacy Form
Compliance Verification Form (if applicable)

These forms can be found at /graduate/currentstudents/graduateforms/index.php.

Doctoral students can register for dissertation credits once they have been admitted to candidacy. However, it is not necessary to sign up for all 12 dissertation credits in one semester — you can take them over several semesters. The critical issue is that the first time you register for dissertation credits, you must have advanced to candidacy in the previous semester.

For the CLL track you must demonstrate working knowledge in a language other than English either by passing a written translation exam or by successfully completing (with a grade of B or better) a "reading for research" course at the graduate level, which does not count toward the required minimum of 48 credits for the Ph.D. The CSP and DAA track do not have a language requirement.

In addition to the Â鶹ŮÀÉ Graduate Student Association (GSA), which is concerned with promoting the well-being of all graduate and professional students at Â鶹ŮÀÉ, the graduate students in the Ph.D. program have formed their own student association, the Comparative Studies Student Association (CSSA). Although the goals may vary slightly from year to year, basically CSSA is concerned with

the promotion of, and funding for, lectures and projects that are related to the Ph.D. students roles and interests
the sponsoring of community activities for students and faculty

A student must apply for a degree on the appropriate application form provided by the Office of the Registrar by the end of the third week of the semester in which they expect to graduate. This form is reviewed and signed by the Director of the Ph.D. program.

The specific dates to apply for a degree during the academic year are as follows:

For fall graduation, apply by early September
For spring graduation, apply by mid to late January
For summer graduation, apply by late May

It is the student’s responsibility to meet all requirements for the degree. Be sure to review Â鶹ŮÀÉ's Application for a Degree page for the exact application deadlines for your given year and semester.

Graduate students are required to enroll for at least one credit during at least two semesters (Fall, Spring, or Summer) of every academic year in order to remain eligible for a graduate degree. See the Â鶹ŮÀÉ Graduate Catalog, Academic Policies section, for details.

A Requirements and Guidelines for Graduate Theses and Dissertations publication is available from the Office of Graduate Studies. These guidelines also are available on the graduate office’s website: /graduate/forms-and-procedures/degree-completion/thesis-and-dissertation/

Please see the academic calendars at /registrar/registration/calendar.php

If a dissertation committee vacancy occurs or if, for legitimate reasons, the student wishes to change the composition of the committee, the student should discuss the changes with the committee chair. If the committee chair agrees, the changes are forwarded by submitting a Revision to Existing Plan of Study (Form 9).

Meet with the instructor in the course and request an incomplete. If the instructor concludes that your request is justified, he or she will complete a form that records the status of your current work in the course, the work necessary to remove the incomplete, and the deadline for completing that work. You must sign the form. Your instructor sends a signed copy of the form to the director of the program.

It is critical that you and your instructor pay attention to the deadline date on the form. If a "change of grade" form is not submitted in a timely fashion after the deadline stated on the "removal of incomplete grade" form, then the incomplete grade is change to an "F" and subsequent paperwork has to be submitted to change the F grade.

Students take the qualifying exam in their third year of study. The exam consists of a written and an oral component. The written portion is based on a reading list that includes, but is not limited to, course assignments, and will consist of a series of written essays. The successful completion of this written component will be followed by an oral exam within two weeks. Click here for more information.

Yes. You need to consult with the Director of the Comparative Studies Program. The faculty member and student will determine the specific title of study that will appear on the Transcript (up to 32 characters/spaces).

This course is for students who have completed all the required courses, but have not been admitted to candidacy. It is intended to assist them in the preparation of their dissertation topic.

It is the student’s responsibility to meet all the requirements for the degree. In order to assist you a Degree Requirements checklist has been developed by the Program to help the student monitor the courses that have been taken, and how many credits or courses are needed to complete the degree. In addition, the Graduate College has developed an online form that you may find useful. Both forms can be found using the links below:
