The Ph.D. program in Japanese, Linguistics subplan is designed to prepare students for a doctoral degree in Japanese linguistics. Students should consult the most up-to-date version of the degree plan on the Stanford Bulletin as well as the EALC Graduate Handbook. Each student should meet with their faculty advisor at least once per quarter to discuss the degree requirements and their progress. Applicants must have a minimum of three years of Japanese language study at Stanford or the equivalent to be considered for admission. Ph.D. students complete M.A. requirements on the way to advancing to Ph.D. candidacy. The majority of required course work for Ph.D. students demands the ability to read primary and secondary materials in Japanese. Advanced standing may be considered for students entering the Ph.D. program who have already completed an M.A. in Japanese literature or linguistics elsewhere only in cases when the level of prior course work and research is deemed equivalent to departmental requirements for the Ph.D. All courses must be taken for a letter grade. Prior to advancing to terminal graduate registration (TGR) status, graduate students must complete all requirements except passing the University Oral Exam (i.e., dissertation defense) and submitting the final dissertation.
