The Department of Classical & Modern Languages and Literatures (CMLL) at Mississippi State University offers a vibrant and expanding M.A. program in Foreign Languages, covering French, German, and Spanish. Graduate coursework emphasizes literature, cultural studies, linguistics, and film, alongside comprehensive training in language teaching methods. The program features a highly adaptable, interdisciplinary curriculum. Students pursuing their M.A. can simultaneously work toward a teaching certification through our specialized Pathway to Licensure in World Languages program.
Most M.A. candidates serve as Teaching Assistants within the department, receiving tuition coverage and a living stipend. Approximately 30% of our alumni enter teaching careers at secondary or college levels, while about 25% continue their studies in Ph.D. programs. Some graduates have also secured international positions after earning their degrees. Faculty members provide dedicated academic and career guidance, tailoring the program to maximize student success. Graduate students have opportunities to co-lead summer study abroad programs with faculty or participate in credit-earning programs with financial support. The program's flexible structure enables students to customize their Master's experience for optimal career preparation, with faculty deeply committed to graduate success. For program inquiries or to arrange a campus tour, please reach out to CMLL Graduate Coordinator Dr. Kelly Moser.
