The Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies offers a
program leading to the Ph.D. in Romance Languages and
Literatures, with a concentration in Spanish, and the M.A. in
Spanish (thesis or nonthesis). Minimum requirements for the M.A.
and Ph.D. degrees are given in the General Information section of
this catalog.
Candidates for graduate degrees (both M.A. and Ph.D.) in Spanish
have two options--literature or linguistics. In conjunction with their
master's or doctoral work, students may also earn a Certificate in
Latin American Studies. Though a graduate degree is not offered in
Portuguese, extensive course offerings at the graduate level permit
students to develop a strong specialization in Portuguese language
and Luso-Brazilian literature.
Prerequisite for admission to the M.A. program is an undergraduate
major in Spanish, ideally including advanced courses in the
proposed area of specialization. Applicants for the Ph.D. should hold
an M.A. in Spanish or an equivalent degree. Strong candidates
from allied fields of study are sometimes accepted for the Ph.D.
conditional upon their completing additional course work and taking
the M.A. Comprehensive Examination.
