Graduate Studies
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers two options leading to the M.A. degree in Languages, Literatures and Cultures with specializations in French, German, and Spanish. Although the two options differ in scope and emphasis, a core of required courses common to both stresses the development and enhancement of linguistic, research, and critical skills. Both options are designed to meet the needs of students who wish to pursue advanced studies in a foreign language and its literary and broad cultural manifestations as one of the liberal arts. Both options are also designed to serve students who, for professional reasons, seek to continue their studies for eventual admission to a doctoral program or to meet specific career objectives in the private, governmental, or academic sectors.
- Departmental MA: selective focus on literature, language, and culture
- Interdiscplinary MA: language, literature and culture as well as another field in the humanities
- Joint MA: combination of a Foreign Language and Literatures M.A. and an English M.A. (TESL)
