MA Programs in Hispanic Studies

After completing an undergraduate or bachelor's degree, individuals may want to pursue a higher education. The next step is commonly the master's program. To earn a master's degree, an individual must complete a certain amount of credits, usually from a public or state university. This can take between one to two years of full-time study.

Students might wonder, what is an MA in Hispanic Studies? This program encompasses the ever-changing nature of Latin American society, with special attention to indigenous groups, health, environment, education, gender issues and the ways its society interacts with other cultures. Students will also conduct research on cultural expressions as well as the region's present day modernization processes. Some of the courses offered include comparative literature in theory and practice, bilingualism, modern Spanish popular culture, cultural studies, public policies in Latin America and Spanish literature.

If nothing else, the degree can benefit the graduate with knowledge about key Latin American issues in the fields of literature, linguistics and modern history.
