The Doctor of Modern Languages (DML) prepares teacher-scholars in two modern foreign languages. Middlebury’s intent in the design of the DML program is to provide an alternative to the Ph.D. that retains the traditional focus on depth in research while meeting the special needs of language teachers and administrators for competence in the areas of second language acquisition, literature, linguistics and cultural studies.
Before formal admission to the DML program, an accepted applicant completes a summer of candidacy at the L1 School on the Middlebury or Bennington, Vermont campus.
This program is made up of a series of six-week summer sessions over seven years.
