      MA Programmes in Spanish

      A Master of Arts is an advanced degree awarded to students who have completed intensive studies in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. Program requirements vary, but typically an undergraduate degree and entrance exam is necessary for admission.

      What is an MA in Spanish? This graduate-level degree focuses on building cultural and language fluency in Spanish. Students typically review a broad range of cultural issues and study the application of language in different social situations while refining their Spanish skills. Students may choose to specialize in linguistics, literature, or cultural studies and different programs may offer the opportunity for narrowed focus on the Central and South American or European regions respectively. Language classes usually make up a large portion of the course load and are studied throughout the duration of the program.

      Graduates tend to be highly culturally aware, obtain near or total academic fluency in the Spanish language, and gain professional-level translation abilities. These skills and experiences can prepare them for international careers and enable them to communicate effectively in multiple countries.

      Factoring in costs for college is best accomplished by speaking directly with prospective schools. As no program or university is the same, fitting academic goals and budget should be done on an individual basis.

      Bilingualism offers graduates a large variety of career opportunities, including those found in countries where Spanish is the dominant language. Graduates can directly apply their skills in fields such as human resources, international law and policy, service and education, translation, and hospitality. Job titles held by Spanish students include professional translators, political advisors, diplomats, import/export managers, social workers, teachers, and cultural liaisons.

      Due to the language proficiency requirement, most universities offering an MA in Spanish call for students to attend on campus for part or the entirety of their degree.
