Master of Arts in Spanish at Binghamton University This degree opens a broad range of professional opportunities in foreign language, culture and public service.

Our MA prepares students to successfully teach at postsecondary level and abroad: pursue a PhD, and/or obtain professional certification as high school teachers. Master of Arts in Spanish at Binghamton University

Throughout our MA in Spanish, students acquire a solid background in linguistic, historical, cultural and literary studies in the Hispanic world. Most graduates become language instructo

rs, translators, interpreters, editors and communicators, and many continue on to pursue doctoral studies in leading universities in their field of interest. Furthermore, our Spanish MA provides professional certification to already certified high school teachers. We offer summer and winter courses that allow students to finish the MA faster and we scheduled our graduate classes in the afternoons and evenings to accommodate the needs of students who work in full time jobs. Small class sizes (ranging from 5 to 25 students) foster close student-faculty interactions and academic supervision. The faculty in the Spanish program are dedicated professors and recognized scholars who offer a wide variety of courses, some of which are linked to their compelling research projects: Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) language, gothic Caribbean literature, detective fiction and memory studies in Latin America, Chicano and Latino communities in the U.S., colonial cartography and expeditions, contemporary poetry and metafictional literature in Spain, and Cervantes literary studies. Faculty includes professors from the U.S., Puerto Rico and several Spanish-speaking countries (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela), which contributes to the multicultural experience of our graduate students. The department offers merit-based scholarships (such as the James and Catherine O'Connor Scholarship in Spanish) as well as awards of excellence to be used toward tuition. For further information, please email Graduate Director Dr. Ana Ros ([email protected]).

We are excited to announce the addition of a new student to the Spanish MA. Congratulations Sydney Benfer and welcome to the Romance Languages department!

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am so excited to have been admitted into the Spanish MA program at Binghamton University. In 2017, I graduated with my BA in Spanish.

Hi! My name is Sofia Estevez :). I'm 21 years old and I will graduate in the spring from SUNY Binghamton with a major in French and Spanish and a minor in Education. I am very passionate about the Spanish language and Latin American culture, being Uruguayan and Dominican. Hispanic representation in schools has always been important to me. After obtaining my master's degree in Spanish from Binghamton, I hope to obtain my master's in Teaching and begin teaching Spanish in New York City Public High Schools.

We are happy to congratulate another student who just finished her Spanish MA!

During her last year as a Spanish major, Bridget Kane decided to stay a little longer to purse a 4+1 in Spanish plus a Translation certificate. A few weeks ago, she passed the exams for the certificate and the MA. Bridget was also a teacher assistant and an intern for the Spanish program, in the role of event coordinator, for two years.

Congratulations Bridget! We will miss you! We wish you all the success in your career and future projects. Keep us posted!
