B.A./M.A. in Spanish
The Department offers an intensive, accelerated, combined degree
program leading to both the B.A. and M.A. degrees in Spanish. The
program allows qualified students to obtain these two degrees
within five years of full-time study and to take graduate courses
while still undergraduates. Sophomores who have completed 12
credits in Spanish with a 3.5 or above index and with a minimum of
3.0 cumulative index, are encouraged to apply. After completion of
the baccalaureate degree, the student must enroll full time on the
graduate level for the fifth year.
Master of Arts Program in
Spanish
The Department also offers a program of graduate study in the
literature, linguistics and civilization of the Hispanic world,
leading to the degree of Master of Arts. This specialized program
is intended to prepare students for further scholarship, teaching
at all levels, or related careers. The Department sponsors an
ongoing series of lectures by prominent literary figures from both
Spain and Latin America and the publication of the literary journal
Anuario Medieval.
Financial Aid
Research Assistantships, which include full tuition and a stipend,
are available to qualified graduate students. In addition, New York
State residents may be eligible for Tuition Assistance Program
(TAP). State and Federal Loan Programs are also available.
The Gabriela Mistral Scholarship/Beca Gabriela Mistral will be
granted once a year to graduate students enrolled in the Master of
Arts Program in Spanish at St. John's University and at the
Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile. The sholarship entails the
granting of complete tuition remission for one semester to one
student selected from each of the two institutions. .
