Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The graduate programs offered by the Middlebury Language Schools and Schools Abroad, the Bread Loaf School of English, and the Monterey Institute of International Studies provide opportunities to students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in languages, literature, or international studies. Middlebury College draws on more than 90 years of experience administering programs in these fields domestically and abroad. This wealth of knowledge enables us to offer an academically challenging and uniquely independent approach to graduate-level study.

Language Schools and Schools Abroad The study of a language at the graduate level with Middlebury College encompasses more than simply oral and written expression. It also includes the cultural dimensions that can come only from truly “living the language.” Students can pursue M.A. degrees in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, or Spanish in a variety of ways. The Doctor of Modern Languages (D.M.L.) program, unique to Middlebury, provides an alternative to the Ph.D. This degree retains the traditional focus on depth in research while meeting the special needs of language teachers and administrators for competence in areas of language pedagogy and cultural studies. The Arabic and Portuguese Schools also offer non-degree graduate courses. These credit-bearing courses were introduced by the Language Schools in 2006 and are intended for students with language proficiency at the graduate level. Qualified students not seeking an M.A. degree may also be admitted to graduate courses for credit in the Chinese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish Schools with permission of the director.

Bread Loaf School of English Since 1920 the Bread Loaf School of English has offered a rich array of graduate courses in literature, literary theory, the teaching of writing, creative writing, and theater to students from across the U.S. and around the world. The Bread Loaf School of English conducts graduate sessions each summer at four sites: St. John’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico; the University of North Carolina in Asheville; Lincoln College, Oxford, in the United Kingdom; and the home campus at the foot of Bread Loaf Mountain in Ripton,Vermont.

Monterey Institute of International Studies The Monterey Institute of International Studies, an affiliate of Middlebury College, is a graduate school that educates American and international students for professional, global careers in the world of international policy, international business, translation and interpretation, and language teaching. In addition to expertise in their respective fields of study, the Monterey Institute offers opportunities for its students to attain second language proficiency, intercultural awareness and communication skills, and a global mindset. w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

Chinese

Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The Master of Arts in Chinese was established in the summer of 2007 and focuses on Chinese language pedagogy and area studies. Candidates for the M.A. in Chinese will benefit from the unparalleled quality of teaching and immersion that have characterized the Chinese School since its founding 40 years ago. The graduate curriculum in Chinese will build a bridge from theory and cultural competence to pedagogical application and practice.

Program Details The M.A. degree consists of 12 course units taken over four summers on the Vermont campus, or in two summers at Middlebury with an academic year in between at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. The program culminates in a required teaching practicum conducted at the Chinese School. Graduate courses taught at the Chinese School will be almost entirely in Chinese with some readings for various pedagogical courses in English; Monterey courses may be offered in Chinese or in English. In addition to foundation courses in pedagogy, Chinese thought and civilization, and research methodology, students have the opportunity to explore special topics relating to Chinese area studies, such as courses on textual analysis, literature, film and fiction, contemporary issues, pop culture, global issues and concerns, etc. All students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study in Vermont before being accepted to degree candidacy. During the initial summer, students will complete courses in pedagogy, second language acquisition, and culture and civilization, all of which will serve as prerequisites for subsequent course offerings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Perhaps most valuable are the relationships Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve formed with other Chinese teachers. They are a limitless resource for advice, mutual support, and the simple joys of friendship.â&#x20AC;? Eric Pelzl M.A. Candidate Milwaukee, Wisconsin

w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

M.A. in Vermont The Chinese School is a total immersion program in which students not only take classes, but also live on campus in dormitories and take meals in the dining halls with Chinese School students and faculty. Students agree to abide by the Language Pledge, a formal commitment to speak, listen, read, and write the language of study as the only means of communication for the entire summer session.

Academic Year at the Monterey Institute of International Studies The geographic location of Monterey, California and the academic work being done at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in areas such as policy studies, business and trade, and translation pedagogy, provide a unique educational experience for those interested in pursuing this track. Students can take advantage of the expertise of some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most widely recognized instructors of second language acquisition, pedagogy, and applied linguistics.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; The joint program with the Monterey Institute of International Studies expanded my knowledge and skills, both in depth and in breadth, and I truly enjoyed living with both the mountains and the ocean.â&#x20AC;? Naichi Shih M.A. 2008 Taiwan

French

Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The Master of Arts in French exemplifies the cultural immersion and student independence that lie at the very heart of the Middlebury Language Schools and Schools Abroad. Graduate students may take advantage of the summer program in Vermont as well as the School in France (Paris), and the recently established summer program in Poitiers, France.

Program Details The M.A. degree consists of 12 course units taken in a combination of a summer (or summers) in Vermont or Poitiers and an academic year in Paris. The degree can also be completed over a series of four summers on the Vermont campus. All students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study on the Vermont campus before being officially accepted to degree candidacy. During the required preliminary summer in Vermont, students normally take three courses.

M.A. in Paris Paris has many nicknames, but its most famous is “The City of Lights” (La Ville Lumière), a name it owes in part to its fame as a center of education and ideas. The program offers enough flexibility to allow students to prepare for admission to the best Ph.D. programs, teaching careers in the U.S., or careers in the private and non-profit sectors. Founded in 1949, the School in France is Middlebury’s oldest site abroad. Our study center, le Centre Madeleine, is located near Place de la Concorde in one of the capital’s most famous historic areas. It is within walking distance of le Palais Garnier, le Louvre, and l’avenue des Champs-Elysées. During the academic year, students complete the equivalent of seven units of course work at the Sorbonne (Paris 3 or Paris 4), and/or le Centre Madeleine. Students may choose to complete interdisciplinary course work, or to specialize in French literary studies, French civilization, culture, and society, or French linguistics and/or didactics. Students may enroll in courses

“ Through immersion in the French School participants thrive in an environment that pushes them and encourages growth and creativity.” Allison Litten M.A. Candidate Hanover, NH

w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

in literature (French and Francophone), history, art history, film, linguistics, and language pedagogy. One unit in advanced composition and stylistics may be required based on placement test results. Throughout the year in Paris, the School in France offers tutorials. Students normally find housing in Paris through the School in France. Most students rent or share apartments; some choose to live with French hosts, or in student residences. All housing options have been selected carefully by the housing coordinator, and most have been used by former students. Travel to le Centre Madeleine is very convenient from anywhere in Paris, as is travel to French universities. Students who wish to come to France with their partners and/or children can be accommodated.

“ I love the fact that I can take classes from well-known specialists in the francophone academic world and, at the same time, live my day-today life in French with other students dedicated to learning.” Cristal Shimamura M.A. 2008 Honolulu, HI

M.A. in Vermont Every summer since 1916, the French School has created an intensive French-speaking environment inside and outside the classroom, during the day and—once students begin to dream in French—at night. The key to this experience is the famous engagement d’honneur, or Language Pledge, which requires students to speak only the language they are studying. The willingness to sign the engagement is also a guarantee that all who apply are truly serious about their course of study. This allows us to build a community of dedicated teachers and learners and create the special atmosphere that is the hallmark of language study at Middlebury. The French School curriculum includes courses in language, literature, civilization, and language teaching pedagogy. In addition to courses that include content about various regions of France, the faculty and curriculum regularly represent all regions comprising the Francophone Diaspora, such as western and northern Africa, Quebec, and the Caribbean.

Summer in Poitiers During the summer 2008, the French School launched a graduate program in Poitiers, France. With the establishment of this program, graduate students who do not have the flexibility to spend a year in France now have the opportunity to study and live in a Frenchspeaking environment, to absorb the culture and language of France and to advance their studies toward the Middlebury M.A. in French. This program is designed primarily for students in their third summer of M.A. course work.

German

Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The Master of Arts in German is a unique and demanding course of study in which students can focus on a variety of topics related to German culture, history, literature, art, theater, film, philosophy, politics, economics, or linguistics. The option to earn a graduate degree in a single year by combining a summer in Vermont with an academic year in Berlin or Mainz (with the option for a second summer in Vermont) or to pursue an M.A. at Middlebury’s campus in Vermont over four summers makes this a flexible program for students. Program Details The M.A. degree consists of 12 course units taken in a combination of a summer (or summers) in Vermont and an academic year in Berlin or Mainz. The degree can also be completed over a series of four summers on the Vermont campus. All students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study on the Vermont campus before being officially accepted to degree candidacy. During this summer students take three courses, to be selected in consultation with the director or associate director.

M.A. in Berlin or Mainz Middlebury College has been sending students to Mainz since 1959 and Berlin since 2002. In both locations, students are able to live, study, and socialize with Germans and immerse themselves completely in the local culture. Berlin is the old and new capital of Germany. The city’s rapidly changing appearance reflects its history as well as its future. For most of the second half of the twentieth century Berlin was the fulcrum of a divided Europe. With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War, and the reunification of Germany, Berlin continues to play a central role in East-West relations. The new Berlin came into being on November 9, 1989, and is still in the process of being reunited and reconstructed. At the same time, with the relocation of Germany’s capital to Berlin, the city is poised to play a leading role in the continuing development of the European Union, particularly its expansion eastward.

Mainz, located on the edge of Germany’s largest wineproducing region, is the state capital of Rheinland-Pfalz. The city is remarkable for the way its 2,000-year history is woven into its culture: centuries of Roman occupation, the influence of medieval Christendom, revolution sparked by the invention of mechanical printing, occupation by the French, and other links to the past have become ingrained in today’s city. These linkages can be seen in the cathedrals and churches, palaces, winding old streets, numerous museums and galleries, and the neighborhoods rebuilt after World War II. Roman relics that continue to be uncovered tie the present city to its ancient past. Mainz has both a modern feel and a cozy atmosphere, and in 2002, Mainz was voted the most studentfriendly city in Germany. At both sites, students take a total of nine courses over the course of two semesters. Students choose courses within the field of German Studies at either Johannes-Gutenberg Universität in Mainz or Freie Universität in Berlin. In addition, six of the courses must be concentrated within one of the following fields: culture, history, literature, art, theater, film, philosophy, politics, economics, or linguistics. Students can choose to live in one of the dorms administered by Studentenwerk Berlin or Studentenwerk Mainz. Typical dorms have up to ten rooms on one floor with communal bathrooms and cooking facilities, providing additional contact with German university life. Students may also make their own housing arrangements.

M.A. in Vermont Founded in 1915, the Middlebury College German School has achieved a level of accomplishment that is unrivaled in the U.S. Its success is based on three major factors. First, the German School offers an environment dedicated solely to German language, literature, and culture studies. At the heart of these studies is the Language Pledge, unique to Middlebury. An extracurricular program that provides a wealth of culturally authentic contexts makes the Pledge especially meaningful. Second, Middlebury has enriched the course offerings with an increased emphasis on German Studies (European Union, modern German history, philosophy, and film), while teaching methodologies stress individualized attention and make full use of new technologies and assessment methods. Finally and most importantly, the German School has always been able to attract a first-rate faculty whose expertise, experience, and dedication guarantee high quality.

Italian

Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The Master of Arts in Italian draws on Middlebury College’s deep commitment to cultural and linguistic immersion. Whether the student is continuing a discussion after class at the Vermont campus, or debating Dante with pre-eminent professors at the Università degli Studi di Firenze, the M.A. in Italian offers a wide range of possibilities. Students concentrate in one of four areas: general studies in Italian, literary studies, language and linguistics, and culture and communication.

Program Details The M.A. degree consists of 12 course units taken in a combination of a summer (or summers) in Vermont and an academic year in Florence. The degree can also be completed over a series of four summers on the Vermont campus. All students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study on the Vermont campus before being officially accepted to degree candidacy. During this summer students take three courses, one of which must be a literature course at the 600 level or above, and one of which must be a civilization course.

M.A. in Florence Florence embodies the Renaissance, which began in Tuscany during the fourteenth century and continued to influence the region and ultimately the world for four hundred years. Michelangelo, Ghiberti, Machiavelli, Dante, and Galileo are just a few of the great figures who shaped the city. Middlebury’s School, or Sede, is located at the Palazzo Giugni, a sixteenth century palace designed by the renowned architect and sculptor Bartolomeo Ammannati. The Sede is situated in the academic heart of the old city, an area bustling with coffee shops, bookstores, cultural clubs, and academic buildings. The Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Florence’s other main monuments are all within easy walking distance. M.A. degree candidates begin the academic year with four semester-long courses in language, linguistics, literature, or culture/ communication at the Sede and one course at the Università degli Studi di Firenze. After consultation with the director, students

will choose courses in the areas of art history, ancient or modern history, political science, linguistics, theater studies, philology, archaeology, or literature. All courses at the Sede are taught by local professors. The faculty, staff, and students replicate the academic environment of the Italian School by strictly following the Language Pledge while in Florence. During the second semester students must complete an independent research project, one course at the Sede, and one course at the Università degli Studi di Firenze. Arrangements for accommodations in Florence are made by students with the aid of the on-site staff at the Sede, which provides a list of recommended apartments and families that students have used in the past.

“ Students thrive at Middlebury because they can spend time talking and joking with some of the most intelligent professors in the field, and learning from them the little nuances of the language.” Charlene Roth M.A. 2005 Wayne, PA

w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

M.A. in Vermont Unlikely to be duplicated elsewhere, the communal and cordial atmosphere of the Italian School and the Language Pledge creates an all-Italian language environment. Daily activities normally include four hours of classroom instruction plus additional work in the language and computer laboratories. Students agree to abide by the Language Pledge, a formal commitment to speak, listen, read, and write the language of study as the only means of communication for the entire summer session. Faculty and students live under the same roof; the language of music, art, and cinema comes alive for students, not only through challenging classroom instruction but also in a cultural and social environment. The school offers films, concerts, lectures, plays, social events—even an Italian-style café in the program’s social center, complete with daily newspapers, Italian television, espresso, and gelato.

D.M.L. Program

“ The Scuola Italiana wasn’t only a place to study during the summer for many of us, it was a home away from home: coming back each summer was like returning home to my other family connected by the bonds we have made since our first summer.” Lidia Magliari M.A. 2005 Westerly, RI

Students interested in continuing their language study beyond the M.A. level have the option of enrolling in the Doctor of Modern Languages (D.M.L.) degree program. The D.M.L. prepares teacherscholars in two modern foreign languages, providing them with the skills and resources that will help them develop as teachers of second language acquisition, literature, linguistics, and language pedagogy. The D.M.L. includes comprehensive exams in the principal language, at least three graduate level courses in the second language and a dissertation and oral defense.

Russian

Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The Master of Arts in Russian offers students linguistic and cultural immersion at the campus in Vermont and abroad in Moscow or Irkutsk. Its international reputation, excellent faculty, and individualized attention make the M.A. in Russian a unique and well-rounded experience. Normally, graduate students study in Moscow. However, with approval, those with a particular interest in Siberia may choose to study in Irkutsk.

Program Details The M.A. degree consists of 12 course units taken in a combination of a summer in Vermont, an academic year in Moscow or Irkutsk, and a final summer at the Kathryn Wasserman Davis School of Russian, or over a series of four summers on the Vermont campus. All students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study on the Vermont campus before being officially accepted to degree candidacy. During the first summer students take three courses in the areas of language, linguistics, literature, film, or culture.

M.A. in Moscow or Irkutsk The School in Russia graduate program offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the study of Russian language and culture at either the Russian State University for the Humanities (RGGU) or Irkutsk State University (IGU). Through a flexible and demanding academic program, and with a variety of local contacts outside of the university, students have a high degree of independence in their academic and social lives. The faculty, staff, and students replicate the academic environment of the Russian School by strictly following the Language Pledge. Moscow, with its art, rich history, omnipresent government agencies, and emerging, flashy, private sector is the center of Russian cultural and political life. Whether one is spotting Lenin’s ghost in Red Square, exploring neighborhood boutiques, or sampling authentic Georgian cuisine, Moscow offers all the excitement of a cosmopolitan city. The capital has many local touches that make it “uniquely Moscow”—from Stalin’s Seven Sisters to ice skating on Red Square— and the city has benefited from more foreign investment than any other region in Russia.

Indeed, over 100,000 foreign businesspeople and students now call Moscow home. With them has come a Western lifestyle— restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls—which well-heeled members of Russia’s elite have enthusiastically embraced. RGGU is arguably one of the most progressive institutions of higher education in Russia. Established in 1991 on the site of the former Historical Archives Institute, the university has taken advantage of many of the freedoms available in post-Soviet Russia to develop a curriculum and educational philosophy that distinguish it from other Russian universities. With a focus on the humanities and social sciences, RGGU has expanded its educational opportunities in a variety of non-traditional, “nonsoviet” directions. In Moscow, students are housed in double-occupancy rooms in the international student dormitories on the RGGU campus. A limited number of homestays may be available for graduate students in Moscow for an additional cost. Graduate students are also welcome to make their own arrangements for accommodation. Irkutsk, known as the Pearl of Siberia, is a cultural center with a rich history and spectacular natural attributes, where winters are among the sunniest of any major city in Russia. The life and history of the city are closely tied to Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh-water lake in the world. Approximately one hour’s drive from Irkutsk, Lake Baikal contains 20 percent of the Earth’s fresh water, is home to hundreds of unique species of flora and fauna, and is studied by scientists from around the world. Irkutsk is a city of 600,000 full of quirky cafés, ethnic restaurants, and classical theaters. The plentiful social and cultural outlets should assuage any fears about Siberian isolation. Indeed, the diverse population —a blend of lifestyles and traditions from European Russia and w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

numerous indigenous nomadic peoples, most significantly the Buryat people—welcomes the few American students in the city. IGU was founded in 1918 and is the oldest institution of higher education in Eastern Siberia. At present, the university boasts 12 separate departments (fakultety) and many more Kafedry or “sub-departments”. They also maintain a variety of research institutes, including an Institute of Applied Physics, an Institute of Biology, a Botanical Garden, a Museum of the History of IGU and a Scientific-Informational Center for the Study of Mongolia. In Irkutsk, students have the option to live in a Russian home, an apartment secured with the assistance of the staff of the School in Russia, or in the university dorm.

Curriculum

The graduate curriculum for the School in Russia is composed of two Middlebury spetskursy, which are taught only to School in Russia graduate students, and mainstream courses taken with Russian students. A normal graduate student course load is three classes per semester. At least half of these credits must be earned in mainstream courses. No more than six total units of credit can be earned toward the degree while in Russia. Fall semester spetskursy are offered in the areas of Russian literature and Russian history, while spring semester classes focus on Russian politics and Russian culture. In addition to course work, an essential part of the graduate student’s program in Russia is a major research project. The independent research project is not credited as a “fourth class” each semester, but requires the equivalent time commitment of a regular course. This project is completed during the final summer at Middlebury and qualifies the candidate for the M.A. degree.

Spanish

Middlebur y and Monterey Institute of International Studies: Graduate Studies

The Master of Arts in Spanish offered by Middlebury College successfully reflects the ever-changing trends that have made Hispanic linguistic and cultural competence a necessity across a wide range of professions. Candidates for the M.A. in Spanish have the opportunity to take advantage of Middlebury’s excellent summer program in Vermont as well as the School in Spain, and the recently established summer program in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Program Details The M.A. degree consists of 12 course units to be taken in a combination of a summer (or summers) in Vermont or Guadalajara and an academic year in Madrid. The degree can also be completed over a series of four summers on the Vermont campus. All students must successfully complete a preliminary summer of study on the Vermont campus before being officially accepted to degree candidacy. During the required preliminary summer in Vermont, students normally take three courses: Advanced Spanish Language, Literary Analysis, and one elective course.

M.A. in Madrid The Middlebury College School in Spain, Sede Prim, is housed at a central location within short walking distance of the Spanish National Library, the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen museums, as well as Cibeles and the Puerta del Sol, the most well-known landmarks in the heart of the city of Madrid. Middlebury has its offices, classrooms, a computer lab, and a small reading library at the Sede. The faculty, staff, and students replicate the academic environment of the Spanish School by strictly adhering to the Language Pledge. In Madrid, students follow a program consisting of four courses one semester and five courses the other. All courses are organized by Middlebury College for its own students and are taught by some of the most renowned scholars in Spain, including university professors and other authorities in the fields of language, literature, culture and civilization, and language acquisition/

teaching. The course offerings are organized with an emphasis on Spain to take advantage of the students’ presence there; however, Latin American subjects are also offered. Arrangements for accommodations in Madrid are made by students with the aid of the housing coordinator of the School in Spain, who keeps an up-to-date list of families and apartments where Middlebury students have lived in previous years. Prices vary according to the type of accommodation and the rate of exchange.

“ Between the Language School in Vermont and the academic year abroad in Madrid, I am confident I’ll be able to integrate the program’s academic and social aspects to become a more competitive candidate in my career.” Erica Davies M.A. Candidate Alexandria, VA

w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

M.A. in Vermont The Spanish School has adapted to meet the needs of an everchanging population of people interested in honing their Spanish linguistic abilities. Courses in political culture, instructional technology, second language acquisition, film, and the arts prepare graduate students for travel, study, and work abroad, as well as for increased facility in the Spanish language and grounding in Hispanic culture in the U.S. In the years during and after the Spanish Civil War, the School was an important bastion of free Spanish thought and discourse. Today it honors this intellectual and cultural heritage with a commitment to academic inquiry and the celebration of language and life throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The palabra de honor (the Language Pledge to speak to other students and faculty only in Spanish throughout the summer), combined with the carefully crafted array of courses and activities, allows for significant progress and often stunning results in overall communicative competence and academic achievement.

Summer in Guadalajara

â&#x20AC;&#x153; The graduate program at Middlebury is something unique and special. Its amazing diversity, coupled with the Language Pledge, connects us to a colorful landscape of other cultures and perspectives.â&#x20AC;? Javier Mocarqur M.A. Candidate Santiago, Chile

During the summer of 2004 the Spanish School inaugurated a highly successful graduate program in Guadalajara, Mexico, the first summer Language School campus outside the U.S. With the establishment of this program, graduate students who do not have the flexibility to spend a year in Spain now have the opportunity to study and live in a Spanish-speaking environment, to absorb the culture and language of Mexico, and to advance their studies toward the Middlebury M.A. in Spanish. This program is designed primarily for students in their third summer of M.A. course work.

e n g l i s h

Since 1920 the Bread Loaf School of English has offered a rich array of graduate courses in literature, the teaching of writing, creative writing, and theater arts to students around the world. For six weeks each summer Bread Loaf students, most of them secondary-school teachers, work toward an M.A. or M.Litt. and study with a world-class faculty at one of our four sites: New Mexico, North Carolina, Oxford (England), and the home campus located outside Middlebury at the foot of Bread Loaf Mountain in Vermont. Next June some 500 students from all regions of the U.S. and from several other countries will again travel to the Bread Loaf campus of their choice for an intense, exhilarating, even transformative six weeks of class work, lectures, performances, and conversation. They can then join the virtual community of teachers and learners after classes have ended, as they stay in touch year-round using BreadNet, our computer network.

Program Details The Master of Arts (M.A.) To earn an M.A. students must successfully complete the equivalent of 10 courses over three to five summers. No thesis is required. The curriculum is divided into six groups: (I) writing and the teaching of writing; (II) English literature through the seventeenth century; (III) English literature since the seventeenth century; (IV) American literature; (V) world literature; (VI) theater arts.

The Master of Letters (M.Litt.) The M.Litt. program is designed for highly qualified candidates who already hold an M.A. in English. The program builds in a concentrated, specialized way on the broader base of the M.A. Students choose a field of concentration in which most or all of their course work is to be done. A field of concentration may be a period such as the Renaissance, a genre such as the novel, or a field of study such as American poetry. No thesis is required, but in the final summer a student must pass a comprehensive written and oral examination, or the equivalent, in his or her field of concentration.

Continuing Graduate Education Students may also enroll in a non-degree status. Upon successful completion of a summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s study, Middlebury College will issue a Certificate in Continuing Graduate Education.

Undergraduate Honors Program Bread Loaf accepts exceptionally able undergraduates with strong backgrounds in literary study. These students may enroll in courses during the summer between their junior and senior years.

Students may attend any of Bread Loafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Four Campuses

Ripton, Vermont The central location for the Bread Loaf School of English is the campus located outside Middlebury, in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Courses in Vermont benefit from the on-site presence of the Bread Loaf Acting Ensemble, which visits classrooms and, along with actors drawn from the student body, appears in theatrical productions during the summer. For those who enjoy outdoor life, Bread Loaf/Vermont is ideally located at the edge of the Green Mountain National Forest. A junction with the Long Trail is a short hike from the School. The extensive campus and nearby lakes and rivers offer many opportunities for recreation. w w w. m i d d l e b u r y. e d u / a c a d e m i c s / g r a d _ l a n g

Santa Fe, New Mexico Housed at St. John’s College, at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Santa Fe, Bread Loaf in New Mexico offers a curriculum similar to those offered at the other campuses, but with an appropriate emphasis upon American Indian literature, American Hispanic literature, and writing of the Southwest. In the larger area around Santa Fe, there are many locales to visit, including Albuquerque, Acoma, Taos, and some of the most significant archaeological sites in the United States. Some classes make excursions to selected sites.

Asheville, North Carolina Bread Loaf ’s newest campus is located at the University of North Carolina in Asheville, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Asheville is an extremely attractive city with a lively arts and music community. The curriculum emphasizes Southern literature and African American literature. In addition to the rich academic program and the Asheville scene, students enjoy hiking, mountain climbing, and whitewater rafting in the surrounding mountains.
