Once you are admitted, complete the items on this checklist to formally accept enrollment in the program. More information regarding Department onboarding will be sent to you directly from the Department's Graduate Program Coordinator and Business Operations Manager.
If you have been awarded a Graduate Teaching Associateship, prepare to arrive in our department in the first week of August to attend the World Language Instruction Training (LIT) Workshop hosted by the Center for Languages, Literatures, & Cultures (CLLC). The LIT Workshop will not only orient you to teaching world languages at the university level, it will also provide the opportunity to interact with graduate peers and faculty supervisors, and familiarize yourself with OSU campus before the academic year commences.
These are sample plans for our French & Italian graduate programs. Every student is different and should work with the Director of Graduate Studies, Academic Programs Manager, and their faculty advisor to craft their progression and advising plans.
