Overview

Our students in the Spanish Language and Literature program from University of Maryland are mentored by our faculty, engage in substantive research projects, and benefit from rigorous training in the teaching skills required by the profession. They graduate prepared to meet the demands of highly competitive academic positions in the United States and Latin America.

Key facts

Students in Spanish literature and Latin American literature must choose either option as their main area. The student will also select three sub-fields in that area. For example, a student specializing in Latin American literature may choose Colonial literature, Contemporary literature, and Indigenous Cultures.

From these three sub-fields, the student will elect one as his/her focus. The student will also choose an additional (4th) sub-field from his/her secondary area. For instance, the above mentioned student could choose The Golden Age as the fourth field.

Students in Hispanic applied linguistics will take required courses in Hispanic applied linguistics and Latin American/Spanish/US Latino(a) literatures, as well as elective courses in several areas.
