Graduate Program
If you are applying to the Joint MA, you will need to apply to both the Languages, Literatures and Cultures Graduate Program and the English Graduate Program.
Students entering the program are advised to read thoroughly the most recent Graduate Studies Manual and familiarize themselves with the existing options and procedures.
The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers a 12-credit graduate certificate in French Linguistics and Literary Studies (FLLF-CT) and in Spanish Linguistics and Literary Studies (SLLF-CT).
Our MA in Spanish allows graduate students to learn from scholars who produce innovative work that is critically minded and theoretically driven.
Our faculty links disciplines as diverse as literature, linguistics, language pedagogy, and translation to prepare our students for entrance into competitive PhD programs, a variety of teaching opportunities, and any number of additional career possibilities.
