The following requirements supplement
the general requirements set forth by the UW Graduate School in
the General Catalog (see the Graduate
School Admissions page for further information). All students,
whether or not they have earned an M.A. at another institution,
must complete the M.A. requirements before entering the Ph.D. program.
admissions
Admission to the Ph.D. program is based on the level of performance
with the M.A. requirements.
There are four general requirements for the completion of the doctoral
degree:
- general written examination
- general oral examination
- dissertation
- final examination
The Master’s papers
constitute the written portion of the general examination. The general
oral examination is normally a presentation and defense of the student’s
dissertation proposal.

course requirement
The only departmental course requirement is that the student must
complete a total of at least six seminars with a grade of 3.0 or
better in each before being awarded the Ph.D. (seminars taken to
fulfill the M.A. requirements may count toward this total). A student’s
supervisory committee may, however, require additional courses.
language requirement
There is no departmental language requirement. However, in writing
a dissertation a student must be able to deal with primary sources
in the original language of the source. All language requirements
are determined by the student’s supervisory committee. A student
should develop the needed language skills as early as possible in
his/her career. The student should consult with the director of
graduate studies during the first and second year in the M.A. program
to insure that he/she is developing any needed language skills.
satisfactory progress
A student’s supervisory committee determines whether a student
in the Ph.D. program is making satisfactory progress. Satisfactory
progress for the Ph.D. program includes steady and substantial progress
toward the completion of the dissertation. Sanctions for failure
to make satisfactory progress are the same as described for the
Master’s requirements.
