Undergraduates considering applying to the
master’s program should have majors in
related areas, such as literature, linguistics,

be considered.
Submit the following materials to the Graduate
School: a completed electronic “Application
for Admission to the Graduate School” which
requires you list 3 references for letters of
recommendation; original transcripts sent
directly from ALL institutions that you have
indicated on your application form, including an
official English translation; a TOEFL Exam Score
(required only if English is not your native
language). Submit the following materials to the

Program Description
The Department of Foreign Languages and Cultures
offers a master’s program in foreign
languages, with an emphasis in Spanish. Students
have the option of pursuing a thesis or a
non-thesis program. We offer Spanish and Spanish
American literature courses, from the Middle Ages
up to the latest in contemporary production, as
well as seminars on literary criticism, research
methodology, foreign language pedagogy, teaching
with technology, and applied linguistics. Most of
our students receive financial assistance for
their first year of study in the form of a
Teaching Assistantship that provides for full
tuition waiver and a bi-monthly stipend. This
assistantship can be extended for a second year
based on satisfactory academic and teaching
performance.
Admittance into the program does not necessarily
mean the student has or will be awarded an
assistantship. The program is designed to allow
students to complete their M.A. in two years. We
encourage student participation in professional
and scholarly activities beyond the program.
Travel grants, scholarships, and internships are
available for selected students.
