Graduate Studies
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at The Ohio State University continues a long and distinguished tradition that makes it one of the premier comprehensive graduate programs in the country. The Department offers M.A. and Ph.D. programs in Spanish and Latin American literatures and cultures and in Hispanic linguistics. It also offers a doctoral concentration in Luso-Brazilian literatures and cultures, and minors in film studies and other exciting fields. Twenty-eight faculty members and approximately 60 graduate students pursue a great variety of research interests in the literatures and cultures of Spain, Latin America and in Hispanic linguistics. Faculty members maintain active research programs and are at the same time committed to excellence in instruction, as attested by numerous teaching awards won in recent years. Similarly, our students are recognized for their teaching, invited to present their work at conferences, awarded FLAS and Fulbright fellowships and internal and external grants to conduct research.
