The Spanish Program provides Master of Arts (MA) and PhD degrees in Spanish. For the master's program, students can opt for either a thesis track or a course-based track. Both MA options offer three specialization areas: Iberian and Latin American Literatures and Cultures, Linguistics, or a combined Linguistics & Literature focus. MA candidates must show proficiency in core disciplinary knowledge and demonstrate comprehension of research methodologies, creative problem-solving, or applied knowledge relevant to literary/cultural studies or linguistics.

The doctoral program typically demands at least 30 credit hours beyond the MA, with specialization options in Iberian and Latin American Literatures and Cultures or Hispanic Linguistics.
