The Department offers both a Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Spanish. While some Ph.D. candidates join with an existing M.A. from other universities, others earn their M.A. as part of the Ph.D. track. UVA undergraduates can also take advantage of the accelerated BA 1 program.
