CURRICULUM
Students must be continuously matriculating in the program unless granted a leave of absence (which must be approved by the Office of Student Affairs); M.A. degrees must be completed within five years, regardless of whether you are enrolled as a full or part-time student. This is a 32-credit degree. Each course is 4 credits. A typical full-time course load is two to three courses a semester. You should plan ahead to coordinate your progress through the program and ensure you take the required number of credits and meet the course’s requirements. Most students reserve a semester for researching and writing their thesis. You may also have opportunities to take a course in the summer (at the NYU Washington Square campus or through the Summer in Dublin program). You may take up to two classes (8 credits) outside of the Irish Studies program with permission from the DGS.
Students cannot take more than the maximum allowed credits for the program. Students enrolled in affiliated dual-degree and certificate programs (Library Sciences at Long Island University, Digital Humanities and Public Humanities at NYU) have different credit requirements; these programs share some credits with our courses and require additional credits from other programs. Please see the advisors of the affiliated programs for details about this.
The M.A. in Irish and Irish-American Studies has been structured to offer students both a comprehensive grounding in the Irish Studies field, and the opportunity for in-depth course work and research in the new forms of inter- and trans-disciplinary scholarship characteristic of the best recent work in the field. Courses are offered in History, Literature, Language, and Cultural Studies. The curriculum is structured in three tiers: Core Courses (8 credits, or two courses), Field Specialization Requirements (8 credits), and Electives (16 credits).
Core Courses/Two courses or 8 credits.
All students enrolled in the M.A. are required to take two compulsory courses in their first year, the Irish Studies Seminar I (IRISH-GA 1001) in the Fall and the Irish Studies Seminar II (IRISH-GA 1002) in the Spring. Irish Studies Seminar I is the core course of the M.A. It is designed to engage participants with the ideas and debates that animate all the component disciplines of Irish Studies, and to prepare students for the topics-oriented classes that form the bulk of the M.A. curriculum. Irish Studies Seminar II (An Teanga Bheo–The Irish Language)/(IRISH-GA 1002) is required of all students entering the M.A. program without prior Irish language study. Because the Irish language forms an integral part of Irish political and cultural history and contemporary intellectual life, yet very few universities offer coursework, this seminar is designed to give students an accelerated introduction to conversational Irish and to the grammar, structure, and history of the language. The course will allow students to better comprehend the influence of Irish language, place names, folklore, and Gaelic customs in modern Ireland. Students who demonstrate prior study of the language may be exempted from this requirement with permission of the Director of Graduate Studies.
Electives & Individual Specialization/Four courses or 16 credits.
General elective courses are offered in Irish Music, Irish History, Irish-American History, Irish Literature, as well as Special Topics courses in Irish culture and in Irish and Irish-American Studies; a third tier for the Masters allows students to complete the 8 courses required for the M.A. degree and to develop their own particular areas of specialization. Students enrolled in the M.A. may, with permission of the Director of Graduate Studies, enroll in relevant courses offered within other programs and areas of scholarship within the University, including the Departments of English, Music, and History, American Studies, and the Tisch Performance Studies Department.
Thesis or Final Project/All students are required to complete a final project or thesis.
All students must complete a thesis or special project to meet the program requirements and graduate.
The THESIS is an original, argument-driven academic work of 15-25k words including an extensive bibliography, and formatted using the standard for the student’s discipline: generally MLA or Chicago Style. This is recommended for students who wish to go on to pursue a Ph.D. degree. An M.A. thesis formatting guide can be found here.
Students must work with their faculty mentor to draft a thesis prospectus which must be submitted to the M.A. faculty for approval the semester before the thesis is completed. Prospectus guidelines are available from the DGS and on our website, and submission dates for the prospectus are included in the academic calendar at the beginning of this guide.
Both the thesis and the special project must be submitted by internal and university-mandated deadlines. These are marked in the calendar in this handbook, and align with the GSAS academic calendar for dissertation (and thesis) submissions for graduation. These deadlines help both students and faculty adhere to a reasonable schedule. Be aware that a full draft of your thesis will be due more than a month before the conclusion of the semester to allow for necessary changes and edits.
Applying to graduate and working on your thesis with your mentor does not guarantee the thesis is approved in the semester in which you write it. In some instances, students take additional time to incorporate revisions from readers and mentors.
The SPECIAL PROJECT is either a seminar paper expanded and revised to meet standards of publication in the field, to a publishable standard with the mentorship of the faculty member to whom it was first submitted (generally 9-11K words); or a non-traditional project that involves substantial research but may take a different format from the argumentative thesis: a data-driven digital project; a visually-engaged project; work that engages the public humanities; a creative project. Such projects need to be approved by the DGS and need to have a faculty mentor. This special project must be revised to meet standards of publication in the field, and must be approved by one additional faculty member in addition to the student’s faculty mentor. Students must obtain approval for the project from the faculty mentor before the start of their final semester. Non-credit, but required for graduation for students not writing a thesis.
Guided research for credit: With permission of their faculty mentor and the DGS, students have the option of enrolling in their final semester in a Guided Research course to prepare the M.A. research thesis. Students are required to submit their approved thesis prospectus as well as a schedule of meetings to their mentor and the DGS for approval before registration for the semester in which the Guided Research will be conducted. 4 credits. Counts toward elective credit.
ADVISING AND MENTORING
Students are not formally assigned an advisor for a thesis or special project in our program. All students are informally advised by the DGS for their first semester in the program, and should regularly check in with the DGS throughout their time in the program to make sure they meet all degree requirements for graduation.
By your second semester in the program, you should begin thinking about a topic you want to research in depth for your thesis or special project. This work will be undertaken with the mentoring of a faculty member (from Irish Studies or, in rare instances and with permission of the DGS, from outside the department). It is your responsibility to identify someone who you would like to work with, and then ask that faculty member if they would be willing to search as your project mentor. Usually this is someone you have taken a class with, spoken to at length about your research interests, and—as much as possible— whose research and publications align with your interests. The DGS will provide advice about potential mentors if you need it, but will not assign a mentor to your project. Second readers will be assigned by the department. Students apply to graduate by thesis and must work with a mentor in drafting a thesis prospectus, due the semester before they write the thesis. So ideally you should identify and ask someone to advise you as far in advance of your project as possible.
Graduate students and faculty mentors must agree to and sign a “GSAS Mentor-Mentee Agreement Form” and submit it to the DGS or designated department administrator.

STUDY ABROAD OPTION
The M.A. degree can be completed in three semesters at the NYU Washington Square campus, or in one calendar year with full-time summer study in New York and in Dublin.
PROCEDURES FOR REGISTRATION, MAINTENANCE OF MATRICULATION, AND
GRADUATION
Enrollment: Students must maintain continuous enrollment in their programs from the time of matriculation to graduation. To maintain enrollment in a degree program a student must enroll in that program each fall and spring semester until that degree is granted. There are two ways to maintain enrollment:
Register for at least one credit or a fraction thereof;
Enroll in Maintenance of Matriculation (MAINT-GA 4747).
Conditions for Enrollment: Students are also expected to comply with all applicable administrative policies, procedures and community standards of the University. These include but are not limited to timely payment of all charges, tuition or otherwise, and adhering to student housing regulations, library policies and all University rules regarding student behavior.
Registration: All students are expected to be enrolled in either coursework or Maintenance of Matriculation by the end of the University determined drop/add period. Failure to do so may result in the student being considered as not active for that term and any repercussions arising from that state.
Academic Leave of Absence: A student who is obliged to temporarily suspend enrollment for national service, serious illness, or compelling personal reasons may request an academic leave of absence, which, if approved by the GSAS Office of Academic and Student Affairs (OASA), retains the student's matriculation status in the program and acts as an exception to the continuous enrollment requirement (See 6.1)
Accepted Reasons for Academic Leave of Absence: The following summarize the only accepted reasons for taking an academic leave of absence:
● National Service: Military service, public health service, the Peace Corps or any comparable activity is deemed to constitute national service.
● Medical: Any condition that a physician or psychiatrist certifies is prohibitive to carrying on full- or part-time study.
● Compelling Personal Reason: Must be one outside the student’s control and not a matter of choice. Difficulty maintaining academic good standing or conditions for enrollment does not qualify as a compelling personal reason. Examples of compelling personal reasons include serious family or legal crises. OASA relies upon the DGS to review and support requests based upon compelling personal reasons and prefers that some justification be provided separately from the student’s own request.
● Maternal or Paternal Leave: An academic leave of absence will be allowed for maternal and paternal leaves of absence for childbirth and care for the newborn. Maternal or paternal leave may be considered a compelling personal reason or a medical leave depending on the circumstance. Students may wish to opt for a parental accommodation instead of or in conjunction with a maternal or paternal leave
Time to Degree: The period of an approved academic leave of absence does not count toward time to degree.
Eligibility: Students are only eligible for an academic leave of absence after the first day of the first term in which they have been officially enrolled for courses.
Duration: An academic leave of absence can be approved for a period up to one year, except in cases of compulsory national service in which case the leave would be approved for the duration of the service.
Registration Fees: During an academic leave of absence, registration fees for the terms the leave is granted for do not accrue.
Enrollment Status: A student on an academic leave of absence is not eligible for full or half-time equivalency
International Students: The Office of Global Services (OGS) will be notified by OASA each time an international student is given an academic leave of absence. International students are advised to contact the OGS when considering an academic leave of absence.
Academic Leaves Initiated After Beginning of Term: When an academic leave involves
withdrawal after a term has begun, the student will be withdrawn from all current courses. Furthermore, all current courses will be removed completely from the student’s transcript and all tuition and fees for the current semester courses will be refunded to the student. Refund of health insurance fees may be exempt from this refund.
University Resources: While on an academic leave a student may not make use of any University
resources including, but not limited to the library, the gym, and any University academic space. Students may continue for a limited time in the Student Health Insurance plan at their own expense.
Outside Academic Activity: While on an academic leave a student may not enroll in any other universities for the purpose of transferring credit earned there toward the NYU degree
Time to Degree: To remain in academic good standing students must complete their degrees within specific time limits: Any master’s degree must be completed within 5 calendar years after the date of first enrollment in that master’s program
Full-Time: The following are the requirements for full-time status and full time equivalence during any of the fall semester, spring semester, or the summer.
● Full-Time Status: A student must be enrolled in at least twelve points of coursework in any fall or spring semester unless the program the student is in is registered to have a lower amount count as full time. In the summer semester, a student must be enrolled in a total of twelve points over all that year’s summer
semester terms. Students taking the last credits needed for the degree in any semester are also considered to have full-time status even if they are only taking one point in that semester.
● Full-Time Equivalence: Working on research, examination preparation, internships, and/or coursework totaling 40 hours per week for the duration of the fall or spring semester or the entirety of the summer is required for a student to claim full-time equivalency for that semester or summer.
Half-Time: The following are the requirements for half-time status and half-time equivalence during either the fall semester, spring semester, or the summer:
● Half-Time Status: A student must be enrolled in at least six points of coursework in any fall or spring semester. For the summer, a student must be enrolled in a total of six points over all that year’s summer semester terms.
● Half-Time Equivalence: Working on research, examination preparation, as a Research Assistant, internships, and/or coursework totaling 20 hours per week for the duration of the fall or spring semester or the entirety of the summer is required for a student to claim halftime equivalence for that semester or summer.
Graduation:
Enrollment: Students must be enrolled in the term of their thesis/special project submission as well as the term in which they graduate as defined by the GSAS continuous enrollment requirement. Enrollment in the preceding spring term grants automatic enrollment status for the immediately following summer term. Failure to be enrolled will make any above mentioned action null and void.
Master’s Thesis Readers: A minimum of two readers are required for a master’s thesis. The DGS must approve all readers. The DGS may approve readers from outside FAS as well as readers whose professional experience demonstrates mastery of the subject when such readers do not hold at least a master’s degree.
Incomplete Grades: A student may not graduate with an incomplete grade of “I” or “NR” on his or her transcript.
Graduation Date: The official NYU graduation dates occur in September (summer term graduation), January (fall term graduation), and May (spring term graduation) each year. Students are responsible to know and follow all GSAS and University graduation procedures and deadlines
REPORTING GRIEVANCES
Right to File a Grievance: Any student registered in GSAS courses or otherwise formally involved in GSAS programs has the right to file a grievance. Certain types of grievances must be adjudicated within GSAS, while others must be adjudicated at the University level. Please refer to the NYU Policies and Procedures document for further information.
Grievances Adjudicated Outside GSAS: In the following cases, grievances must be adjudicated outside GSAS. Questions about whether or not grievances fall within these guidelines should be addressed to either of the Assistant Deans for Students or for Academic Affairs, in the Office of Academic and Student Affairs (OASA).
● Harassment, Discrimination, Sexual Misconduct. If the matter involves alleged harassment, discrimination, or sexual misconduct in violation of either the University’s Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy and Complaint Procedures for Students or the University’s Sexual Misconduct, Relationship Violence, and Stalking Policy, grievances should be filed promptly with the Office of Equal Opportunity.
● Grievance Arising in Other School or College. If the student’s grievance concerns a student, faculty or staff member whose primary affiliation is with another school or college, the student shall consult and follow that school or college’s procedures. In addition, the student shall submit copies of the written grievance to either of the OASA Assistant Deans and the comparable office in the other school or college.
Grievances Adjudicated by GSAS: In the following cases, grievances can be adjudicated within GSAS:
● The student believes that he or she has been subject to treatment which is in violation of a GSAS or FAS rule, procedure or policy;
● The student believes that he or she is being affected by an unfair and/or incomplete GSAS or FAS rule, procedure or policy or implementation of same;
Grievances Concerning Grades: A student may file a grievance concerning a grade on the basis of inequitable or prejudicial practices or administrative or clerical errors if he or she believes a grade to be incorrect. No other reason can form the basis for a grievance regarding a grade.
Grievances Concerning Academic Probation or Termination: Students may not issue a grievance against an academic probation or termination or the terms therein. If a student believes that an academic probation or termination decision, or the terms thereof, is in violation of an NYU or GSAS rule, the appeal process should be employed.
