The online admissions application. Our online application system asks you to identify whether you are applying to the MA or PhD program. Please check the MA box ONLY if you are interested in the MA as a 'stand-alone degree. If you currently hold the BA degree and are interested in the combined MA+ PhD, OR if you currently hold an MA in French from another institution and would like to pursue doctoral studies at UVA, please check the PhD box on the application.

Applicants to the MA program who wish to pursue the pedagogy option must indicate this intention and explain their relevant experience.
