Latin

For additional information, please visit the Medieval Latin Exams Guidelines page.
Modern Languages (French & German)
All Modern Languages examinations are open only to currently registered CMS students and those admitted to the CMS graduate program for September.
CMS students are required to pass reading-knowledge examinations in French and German prior to the oral Special Field examination. In exceptional cases, a student may petition to replace one of the languages (French or German) with another from their area of research. A written request, with a signed confirmation of support for the petition from the supervisor, must be submitted as early as possible, and no later than the end of the Fall term of Year 2 for consideration by the CMS Executive Committee. In the case of a successful petition, the student will be expected to take the exam at the next examination date. Such substitute examinations will be offered no more than two times per year (April and September).
French and German examinations are offered three times a year.
