What level of proficiency in MESAAS languages is required for entry?

Doctoral applicants must have at least two years of formal language training (or the equivalent) in their main research language at the time of entry into the program.  The appropriate level for admission to the program will vary with the course of study and program of research you plan to follow, and can be discussed in advance with the faculty with whom you expect to study. Applicants for the free-standing M.A. can be without formal language training but more is of course beneficial.
