Master of Arts degree programs in Spanish are offered in these two areas of concentration:

  • Literature is designed primarily for students who anticipate continuing their graduate studies beyond the M.A. level, who plan to teach language at the college or post-secondary level, and who wish to pursue scholarly research in modern language and literature studies.
  • Pedagogy is designed primarily for students who wish to teach in elementary and secondary schools, and for those who wish to increase their language proficiency and effectiveness as teachers.

Students are encouraged to enroll in study-abroad programs (limit 6 hours) and in specialized workshops in advanced language or pedagogy (limit 4 hours). Departmental permission must be obtained before enrolling in such programs.
