The program can be completed in three years.  In order to do so, students take two classes each fall and spring semester, for a total of twelve classes.  The workload was designed to be manageable for students who are juggling work, family, and educational responsibilities. 

All courses are fully online.  Students are required to come to the UNT campus twice.  At the beginning of the program, there is a two-day on-campus orientation for new students.  At the end of their final semester, all graduating students come to UNT to give a verbal presentation about their practicum project, and share in each others’ successes.

We offer both an MA and an MS degree.  For the MA degree, students demonstrate knowledge of a foreign language.  Either they complete 2 years study of a language (undergraduate credit hours will be accepted), or they take an examination given by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures.  For the MS degree, students take, as one of their electives, a course that will provide them with some skill appropriate to their specialty.

Quote from a new student:

You … have crafted such a well-designed program that provides accountability for both of us, not to mention a terrific breadth of courses… I am also looking forward to the mentoring and guidance you offer. It is what will separate those who obtain a degree, from those who ultimately get a job. This is exactly what was lacking for me at [university]. I cannot thank you enough.
