The First Two Summers

Students are required to make progress toward the completion of their degree during the summer months. The Committee recognizes that for some students progress will take the form of language training, while for others archival work or other research-related projects might be more appropriate. The second summer will normally be devoted to preparation for field exams, as described below. Students must offer evidence of professional development outside of the classroom, and throughout the calendar year.
