NYU Madrid: Masters Program

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. 

Please visit http://spanish.as.nyu.edu/page/ma for more information.  The application deadline for fall admission is January 4.


Please contact the program coordinator Soledad Gálvez sg135@nyu.edu with questions.

All best,
