the Linguistics Ph.D. degrees in order to provide an integrated program
in language, linguistics, and literature, and invite applications for
the following two related degree programs:
(1) an M.A. in Spanish
with a concentration in Hispanic Linguistics, and A person completing these two degrees will be well-trained in linguistic theory, Hispanic Linguistics, and Hispanic Literature, and will have teaching experience and familiarity with CALI (computer assisted language instruction). This degree program aims to produce scholars in the area of General Linguistics, Spanish Language and Hispanic Linguistics & Literature, who would fit well in a department of foreign (or Hispanic) Language and Literature. Applicants for the M.A. in Spanish should have the equivalent of a major in Spanish. The degree involves four graduate courses in Hispanic Literature, one graduate survey of Linguistics, two courses in Hispanic Linguistics, a comprehensive exam, and a thesis. Students in this program will be supported through teaching assistantships in Spanish.

Individuals interested in applying to the M.A. program in Spanish should contact: María-Cristina C.
