As the only graduate program of its kind in the state, the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa Master of Arts in Spanish attracts international, national, and local students who are interested in a comprehensive program of study including courses in literature, linguistics, translation and cultural studies and film that focus on Spain, Latin America, and the Latino U.S. The faculty of the Division of Spanish and Latin American and Iberian Studies has developed a graduate curriculum that has systematically been updated to reflect national trends and to address student needs and interests. The Spanish MA trains language instructors who work at all levels of education, it prepares graduates to offer linguistic and translation support for businesses, immigration services, and tourism, and it offers a platform from which students and faculty serve as liaisons between Hawai‘i's growing Hispanic community (approximately 121,000), the university, and the state. The high quality of our MA graduates, who receive national and local recognition for their academic and research endeavors, is attested to by their routine acceptance into the most prestigious Ph.D. programs in the nation and their great success in finding teaching positions in first-rate schools and colleges.
