The Department of Romance and Classical Studies offers programs leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Arts in Teaching. Students may pursue graduate studies in either French or Spanish. Both the French and Spanish programs combine the cultural
benefits of study abroad with the guidance and academic support of the graduate faculty on campus. Students have the opportunity
to begin their studies with a year abroad in France or Quebec, Spain or Mexico. Students return to the home campus for their
second year of study. Those who prefer not to spend a year abroad may take their full course work at the University.
Prerequisites to Graduate Work
Admission to graduate study in French or Spanish requires an undergraduate major or minor in French or Spanish (no less than
20 semester hours beyond the intermediate level). Applicants with less background may be accepted, provided they are willing
to make up prerequisite deficiencies specified by the graduate coordinator.
Admission Procedure
Applicants seeking admission to the graduate programs in Romance and Classical Studies should follow the instructions outlined
in the "Graduate Admissions" section of the Graduate Catalog.
Degree Requirements
Master of Arts
All candidates take a general examination at the beginning of the second year over Peninsular and Spanish American literature
and culture and Spanish linguistics. Following successful completion of the general exam, candidates choose between one of
the following plans (students under both plans must also demonstrate proficiency in the language):
Plan I (thesis option):
Candidates must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of graduate credit and the writing of a thesis for which up to six
semester hours of credit are granted. Plan I is recommended for individuals who expect to pursue a Ph.D. degree.
Plan II (non-thesis option):
Candidates must complete 36 semester hours of graduate credit as well as a final research project that includes a paper and
an oral presentation.
Master of Arts in Teaching
Degree requirements are listed under the heading of Master of Arts in Teaching in the "Degree Programs" section of the Graduate
Catalog. The M.A.T. is open only to applicants who have at least one year's teaching experience and valid certification from
the state in which they are teaching or have taught.
