Hispanic Studies

The program in hispanic studies offers courses that are coordinated in a system of seminars, study courses, independent study, and research projects. Graduate classes are small in size, resulting in attention to each student and an individualized plan of study. Beside standard courses (in genres, figures, periods, teaching methodology, and philology), our curriculum has recently included topical courses such as Studies in Spanish Literature of the Middle Ages and the Golden Age, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz in Her Literary Context, The First Fifty Years of New World Historiography, 19th-century Latin American Literature, Vallejo y sus contemporaneos, Borges, Desire in the Spanish Novel, The New Latin American Novel, and The Novisimos Group.

Additional resources: Exchange programs in Santiago de Compostela and Salamanca, departmental house with computer facilities, John Carter Brown Library, and The Transatlantic Project.

Completion requirements: A.M.: Eight courses, reading knowledge of French, and a major paper. The A.M. is ordinarily received as a part of the Ph.D. program.

Ph.D.: Sixteen courses including one course each in philology and language teaching methodologies; major paper; reading knowledge of French; reading knowledge of German or Latin or another Romance language related to dissertation; four semesters of teaching; preliminary examination; dissertation.
