These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>At least one seminar in each of the six periods of French literature (pending availability): the Middle Ages and the 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th\/21st centuries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A maximum of three seminars in other sections of MLL or departments at JHU<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A single independent study course (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowledge of Latin is required of students with dissertations on topics in the Middle Ages or the 16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The ABD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students choose a primary adviser and a co-reader by the end of the second year. The ABD paper (\u201call but dissertation\u201d) represents the culmination of the formal course of study and leads directly into the dissertation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ABD, which the student must defend by the end of the third year, includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A 15\u201320 page prospectus of the dissertation comprising:\n<ul>\n<li>A presentation of the object of study<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof that the project is original and innovative<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The outline projected for the dissertation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A discussion of the methodology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One or more specimen(s) of fully written sections of the dissertation (20\u201325 pp.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A bibliography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The set of 12 seminar papers, to be assembled in a dossier at the time of the ABD, constitutes an invaluable record of the student\u2019s program of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the student\u2019s presentation, the whole of the ABD, both the written and oral parts, is the object of a brief evaluative discussion among the faculty present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Year Abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctoral program in French is proud to maintain a graduate exchange program with the \u00c9cole Norme Sup\u00e9rieure, Paris rue d\u2019Ulm. Each year we send and receive one student from the ENS. The program arranges on a case-by-case basis doctoral internships for the year abroad with various French universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year abroad takes place after the ABD, during the fourth year at the latest. The adviser and co-reader, along with the instructors hosting the student, advise on the choice of doctoral seminars (these do not count toward the 12 required seminars). Upon return, the student submits a brief report describing the working conditions, seminars taken, contacts established, and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dissertation Defense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following completion and revisions, the dissertation is defended orally before a committee. An electronic copy is submitted to the JHU libraries for archiving. Students may elect to embargo for up to four years e-publication of the dissertation to protect their research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following abridges information from the Graduate Student Handbook.
