Acceptance to our graduate programs is highly competitive. However, if you are a junior, your cumulative average in the Spanish major is at least 3.5, and you are ready for the challenge of completing graduate coursework in Spanish, this program is for you.
The program allows you to graduate with your M.S. just one year after you obtain your B.S. by counting two 400+ graduate courses twice, as one 400+ graduate course is already required for the major. In the accelerated M.S. program, you are free to follow the literature/cultural studies track, and the linguistics track, or to combine them.
How to Apply to the Accelerated M.S. in Spanish
Professors Tania Gentic and Alfonso Morales-Front, Directors of Graduate Studies in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese, invite you to apply to the joint A.B./M.S. program in Spanish Literature & Culture or Spanish Linguistics.
- The program should first be discussed with faculty advisers and either Dr. Gentic (Literature and Culture) or Dr. Morales-Front (Linguistics). Upon completion of the application, students should obtain a dean’s signature. They should submit a letter to the Director of Graduate Studies along with the Graduate School application and three letters of recommendation to the Graduate School.
- Our department reviews the application and sends its decision to the Graduate School. Applications are reviewed in the same fashion as all graduate applications.
- The Graduate School gives final approval and notifies the student of the decision.
