Overview

Our department offers an M.A. in Foreign Languages, with concentrations in French, German, and Spanish. We also offer a graduate minor and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in World Language Teaching. Our graduate courses focus on literature, culture, linguistics, and film, with a strong foundation in language pedagogy and an emphasis on pursuing an interdisciplinary course of study. Specific details about all these programs may be found below; you can also find a list of our current graduate courses at the following link. All students working toward an M.A. in Foreign Language have the option of completing a minor in a field related to their course of study and their academic interests, in addition to the major coursework. Many of CMLL's M.A. students have worked toward minors in fields such as Curriculum and Instruction, Business, History, or Political Science, or have completed the requirements for a TESOL certificate. Requirements for the minor are determined by the department offering the minor, and generally include either 9 or 12 hours of graduate-level coursework. In addition, a professor from the minor field of study must be included on the student’s comprehensive exam committee. Students should speak to a professor or the department head of the department they wish to work with to determine the specific requirements for completing the minor.
