World Languages, (Accelerated B.A./M.A.)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s (ABM)

This program allows outstanding undergraduates to begin the coursework for the Master of Arts in Romance Languages (with a French or Spanish concentration) during their senior year. Students are encouraged to begin planning to enter the Accelerated B.A./M.A. program early in their undergraduate career, in consultation with their advisor in the department.

Working with the undergraduate and graduate academic coordinators, undergraduates selected into this program begin a carefully tailored course of study which will allow them to complete their B.A. degree while they also begin the coursework toward their M.A.

To apply, students must have a minimum 3.25 grade point average, and must submit two reference letters to the chair of the Department of World Languages and Literatures. Each applicant will complete an interview with the appropriate graduate coordinator (in either French or Spanish).

Students must also apply to the Graduate School for the accelerated B.A./M.A. program, which allows them to take graduate courses. To continue in the program past the B.A., students must apply for full admission into the Graduate School and into the Romance Languages M.A. program.

Only in ABM programs, up to 12 hours of graduate course work may be applied to both the undergraduate and graduate programs. However, any graduate coursework will not apply to undergraduate GPA.
