The purpose of the M.A. in languages, literatures, cultures and pedagogy is to provide students with the opportunity for professional growth in the areas of language proficiency, in-depth understanding of literature, civilization and culture, and research and teaching skills. The degree affords students the opportunity to continue their foreign language study at the graduate level with the option of working toward teacher certification. The M.A. in languages, literatures, cultures and pedagogy can provide students with all the courses required for a teaching certificate in French, Spanish or German, except for student teaching, which is an undergraduate course of nine credit hours.

All students take at least half their courses in the foreign language and literature of their major field (French, German or Spanish). This program also prepares students for study at the Ph.D. level in the field of applied linguistics. Students seeking teacher certification must take 33 credits. All other students must take 30 credits.
