While there are fewer requirements to complete a diploma, these are nonetheless graduate-level courses, and earning a diploma requires a certain level of discipline and diligence.</p> <p>To receive a Graduate Diploma in Language and Literature from Signum University, students must:</p> <ul> <li>Have already earned a Bachelor鈥檚 degree.</li> <li>Submit an application.</li> <li>Complete five for-credit courses (15 credit hours) from our M.A.-level offerings.. </li> </ul> <p>While any five courses may be taken, interested students who elect to take four or more classes in one of Signum鈥檚 established <a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/concentrations/">concentrations</a> will have this concentration noted (e.g., Graduate Diploma in Language and Literature with a concentration in Germanic Philology).</p> <p>After the completion of 15 credit hours, students will conduct a check-in with an advisor from our Student Support Team. Students who have completed 15 credit hours may choose to add a Capstone project to their accomplishment or may wish to continue their studies to complete a full M.A. in Language and Literature. The decision to add on a capstone or to transfer into the M.A. program ultimately belongs exclusively to the student; their advisor will administratively support their choice.</p> <p>Upon successfully completing the required courses and conducting a check-in, students who do not wish to continue their studies will be awarded a graduate diploma.</p> <p>These requirements effective 1 August 2022.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-foreground-color has-signumsecondarymuted-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button" href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/courses/"><strong>Browse Our Course Catalog</strong></a></div> </div> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Concentrations</h3> <p>Students admitted to the <a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/ma-in-language-and-literature/">M.A. program</a> or the <a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/diploma-in-language-and-literature/">graduate diploma program</a> may choose one of four <a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/concentrations/">concentrations</a>:</p> <ul><li><a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/concentrations/#tolkien">Tolkien Studies</a></li><li><a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/concentrations/#imaginative">Imaginative Literature</a></li><li><a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/concentrations/#classical">Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Literature</a></li><li><a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/concentrations/#philology">Germanic Philology</a></li></ul> <p>One course for each concentration is offered every term.

Students may elect to complete a creative or academic Capstone after completing five graduate courses (the full Graduate Diploma program). Students interested in continuing on to earn a a <a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/ma-in-language-and-literature/">Master of Arts in Language and Literature</a> should not complete a Capstone, as they will have the opportunity to complete a full MA thesis at the end of the MA program.</p> <p>During the Capstone semester, students will enroll in the three-credit Capstone class and work closely with a faculty mentor to complete a scholarly or creative writing project.</p> <p>Prior to beginning this phase, all students will need to complete and submit an application outlining the proposed project, necessary sources, the structure of the finished work, and a loose timeline for the semester. It will be used by the thesis coordinator to help you find a suitable mentor.</p> <p>See the <a href="https://signumuniversity.org/degree-programs/graduate/calendar/#important-dates">Academic Calendar</a> for application deadlines.</p> <p>2022-23 Coordinators:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#772407160505180059361b13121937241e1019021a2259180510">Sparrow F.
