Taught to Travel

Dear Colleagues,

Please share this message with your Spanish department to distribute among students wishing to pursue an M.A. degree in Madrid.

NYU’s Graduate School of Arts and Science offers a unique one-year M.A. in Spanish and Latin American Linguistic, Literary and Cultural Studies at New York University  Madrid.  With courses taught entirely in Spanish by NYU Madrid faculty, as well as by professors from Spanish universities, the M.A. brings an interdisciplinary and transatlantic perspective to the study of the Spanish-speaking world.

The M.A. Program at NYU Madrid offers students:

* Preparation for a Ph.D. Program, giving students the in-depth knowledge and critical and research skills needed to prosper at Graduate School.

* Interdisciplinary approaches to the study of Spanish and Latin American culture, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims in medieval Spain; art museums and collecting; mass culture and the media; photography; urban perspectives on Madrid. There are options in Hispanic linguistics and teaching Spanish as a foreign language.

* Immersion experience in Spanish culture, including excursions to the Basque Country and Andalusia, and talks offered by major Spanish scholars and public figures. Housing options include a homestay with a local family.

While many alumni have gone on to doctoral programs, others have obtained positions in secondary education, translating, marketing, the non-profit sector, and government or international agencies, where they can use their knowledge of the Spanish-speaking world and high level of spoken and written competence in Spanish.

All students who complete the M.A. program receive a 30% scholarship applicable to the cost of tuition. Furthermore, all applicants who submit their materials by the  deadline are eligible for a merit-based scholarship applied towards the cost of tuition.

Dear Colleagues,

Are undergraduate Spanish majors at your university looking to pursue a
graduate degree abroad? Please share this message with your Spanish
department!

Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus offers a M.A. in Spanish in a context
of total cultural and linguistic immersion. In Spain’s vibrant capital, our
students place castellano in its historical and geographic context as they
study Spanish Peninsular and Latin American literature, language
acquisition theory and applied linguistics.

Our courses are rooted in the rich history, culture and arts of Spain and
Latin America. Students critique cinema of the post Spanish Civil War era
and delve into the character behind Don Quijote; they learn best practices
for effective language teaching and explore themes in Spanish dramatical
pieces.

Key program features:

   Three flexible degree completion options: the traditional academic year,
   over the course of three to four summers, or a combination of the two
   -

   Our faculty hold Ph.D.'s from leading European and U.S. universities and
   specialize in diverse literary periods across Spain and Latin America, as
   well as applied linguistics.
   -

   With Madrid as our campus, students take advantage of additional
   cultural and literary events, such as excursions, guest speakers and
   symposiums.
   -

   We offer the opportunity to gain hands-on teaching and research
   experience.
   -

   Qualified students are eligible for merit-based scholarships and
   assistantships.

Our M.A. graduates have gone on to earn doctoral degrees and to work in
sectors including language-program design and implementation, government,
consulting and marketing research, interpretation/translation and, of
course, teaching.
