Wichita State University's Master of Arts (MA) in Spanish program offers in-depth exploration of literature, cultural studies, linguistics, and translation. Participants benefit from international study programs and graduate teaching assistant positions. Wichita State prioritizes hands-on education, with every degree program incorporating guaranteed practical learning or research components to prepare students for professional success.
Earning an MA in Spanish involves completing 32 credit hours post-bachelor's degree, which must include two research-based seminars. Students must successfully complete written comprehensive exams covering Latin American literature, Spanish literature, and a self-selected specialization area. Following approval of these three written components, candidates must pass an oral examination to receive their degree.

Native speakers must have completed 12 credit hours of Spanish at the junior-senior level or demonstrate equivalent background knowledge.
