Graduate Program

Pending policy review by the University of Texas Board of Regents, the GRE is no longer a requirement for applicants to the Modern Languages with a concentration in Spanish graduate program. The Modern Languages graduate program will not consider GRE scores when making admissions decisions. If you have taken the GRE, please refrain from submitting your scores as they will not be considered as a component of your application.

Master of Arts in Modern Languages with Concentration in Spanish

A 36-hour degree, designed to enhance students' competence in the Spanish language and knowledge of the literature and culture of the Spanish-speaking world. Specific objectives are to prepare students for a career in teaching, or in any area in private or public life in which knowledge of a modern language is essential, and to help them develop the techniques of independent research necessary for work beyond the master's level. Students will take a maximum of 6 hours in the core MODL courses, along with Spanish courses in linguistics, literature, culture, and translation studies.
