Overview

Master of Arts (M.A.) Hispanic Studies

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at McGill University offers a flexible programme in Hispanic Studies leading to the degree of Master of Arts. 

Candidates will receive classroom preparation in the culture, intellectual history and literature of Spain and Spanish America, including two guided research projects. 

For those students holding a B.A. Honours in Hispanic Studies or an M.A. from McGill or another college or university of recognized standing, the Department offers the possibility of doctoral studies leading to the Ph.D. in Hispanic Studies.

All candidates pursuing the M.A. without a thesis, both full- and part-time, must successfully complete at least one of their Guided Research projects during the first 12 months. 

The combination of three courses and one Thesis Preparation course will permit these students the 12 credits per term average that is required for most fellowships.
