Overview

Areas of Concentration

Peninsular/Spanish American Literature Concentration

The MA in Peninsular and Latin American literatures is designed to give the student a broad overview of the cultural productions of the Latin American and Peninsular worlds. MA students are required to take 30 hours of graduate coursework.

Hispanic Linguistics Concentration

The MA in Hispanic linguistics is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with a solid foundation in linguistics through the coursework taken in the Departments of Spanish and Portuguese, Linguistics, Communication, Anthropology and the School of Education. Students have the unique opportunity to work closely in collaboration with faculty to develop their areas of concentration and graduate as specialists in a wide range of topics (e.g., history of the Spanish language, Spanish in the United States, sociolinguistics, etc.)

Spanish & Portuguese Studies Concentration

Our MA in Spanish and Portuguese studies is designed to give the student a broad overview of the cultural productions of the Latin American and Peninsular worlds, with an emphasis on Lusophone culture.

Teaching Spanish Concentration

The Spanish program of the University of Colorado at Boulder offers students a broad base in literature, linguistics and language pedagogy and education, and its 31 hours of coursework are almost evenly divided between these three areas.

Six of the credits in the pedagogy and education area may be taken outside of the Department. If students wish to earn a teaching license, they can apply to and concurrently enroll in the Post-Baccalaureate Secondary Spanish Teaching Licensure program, completing remaining coursework and the student teaching semester after graduation with the MA.

Upon completion, students will be prepared to teach and design Spanish language curricula at the secondary and post-secondary levels, as well as pursue further study and research in the fields of applied linguistics, second language acquisition or education.
