" My love of the Spanish language, the Spanish-speaking world, 'things Hispanic' in general, is equaled only by my abiding
interest in history. I've made the decision to continue my graduate studies, but I haven't yet chosen which field to pursue
"
If this dilemma has been yours, the difficult choice is no longer necessary. The Department of Romance and Classical Studies
and the History Department at Bowling Green State University have joined forces to create a unique program of study leading
to the simultaneous granting of two master's degrees, in Spanish and in History. Designed to combine the cultural benefits
of study abroad with the guidance and academic support of the graduate faculty on campus, ours is a three-year program.
During the first year, students study at the Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Cisneros (in the greater Madrid area), Spain,
or at the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, Mexico. During the second and third years, students complete their studies
on the home campus in Bowling Green, Ohio. Students receive substantial financial support for all three years.
A Glance at the Institutions:
Bowling Green State University is a major state-assisted institution of approximately 18,900 students (2,700 of whom are graduate students) and nearly 700
full-time faculty. BGSU offers 165 undergraduate degree programs, 13 master's degrees in 65 fields, and 14 Ph.D. programs
in more than 60 areas of specialization. The 1300-acre main campus is located some 20 minutes south of Toledo, 90 minutes
from Ann Arbor and Detroit, and 2 hours from Columbus and Cleveland.
Located in one of the most impressive university cities in Spain, the Universidad de Alcalá de Henares has been designated a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO because of its historical background and architectural treasures. Steeped
in 500 years of tradition, the Universidad is an impressively forward-looking institution known for its unique and innovative
programs. Our students attend classes at the Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Cisneros, which is affiliated with, the Universidad
de Alcalá de Henares, allowing smaller classes designed for the needs of foreign students while still permitting contact with
Spanish peers. Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Cisneros is located less than 20 miles from Madrid-only 35 minutes in the superb
public transport system which provides instant access to everything the capital has to offer.
Xalapa is the capital of the state of Veracruz with a population of approximately 500,000. It is home to the University of Veracruz (UV). The UV has almost 58,000 students, 43,000 of whom are pursuing undergraduate degrees (based on 2002-03 enrollments).
Xalapa is not only a “college town". Within two to four hours from Xalapa are the Tajín pyramids (one of Mexico’s most important
archeological sites), the port of Veracruz, and Mexico City. The UV is a public university and was founded in 1944.
