Graduate Program

The Department of Foreign Languages offers a graduate program in French and Spanish, leading to a Master of Arts degree in Romance Languages, with a concentration in Literature, or in Language, Culture and Civilization. While a deliberate "option" in French or in Spanish is the more frequent choice for our graduate students, graduate courses taken in the minor language can be credited towards the M.A. in Romance Languages in the major language. For example, as many as two graduate courses taken in French may count towards the credits needed for the Spanish option, and vice versa.

A number of Graduate Assistantships are available to qualified students, on a competitive basis. A maximum of 12 graduate transfer credits may be granted for graduate studies undertaken in another accredited institution of higher learning, at the graduate level.

For additional information call the graduate coordinators: Dr. Denis Augier (French) and Dr. María Del Carmen Artigas (Spanish). The telephone number for both is (504) 280-6657 .
