Internships, Research Opportunities and More
Throughout the MA in Spanish program, students acquire a solid background in linguistic, historical, cultural and literary studies in the Hispanic world. The faculty in the Spanish program are dedicated professors and recognized scholars who offer a wide variety of courses, some of which are linked to their compelling research projects: Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) language, gothic Caribbean literature, detective fiction and memory studies in Latin America, Chicano and Latino communities in the U.S., colonial cartography and expeditions, contemporary poetry and metafictional literature in Spain, and Cervantes literary studies. The Spanish faculty includes professors from the U.S., Puerto Rico and several Spanish-speaking countries (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela), which contributes to the multicultural experience of our graduate students.
Small class sizes (ranging from 5 to 25 students) foster close student-faculty interactions and academic supervision. Students are encouraged to seek academic advising early to develop a suitable course of study for their interests. Many classes are offered in the evenings and at night to accommodate part-time, professional students.
The department offers merit-based scholarships (such as the James and Catherine O'Connor Scholarship in Spanish) as well as awards of excellence to be used toward tuition. For further information, email Graduate Director Brendan Hennessey (bhenness). Graduate students can also apply to work for University Tutorial Services.
