Spanish

Emory’s graduate program in Spanish embraces a rigorous, critical foundation, cultivating superlative scholars and teachers to be active and innovative members of their profession. The intensive curriculum develops and challenges students’ research and analytical skills while providing them an array of interdisciplinary study opportunities to complement a strong foundation in the cultural production of Spain and Spanish America. 

The Spanish program reflects the variety of the faculty’s interests and engages different modalities of interpretation such as cultural studies, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism and feminist theory. Students are encouraged to take courses in other programs germane to their scholarly interests, and will find a number of opportunities for cross-disciplinary work.

The doctoral program in Spanish is part of Emory’s lively community of literary and cultural studies. We are joined in the community by doctoral programs in French, English, Comparative Literature, Women’s Studies, an  interdisciplinary Graduate Institute for Liberal Arts, master’s programs in Film Studies and Jewish Studies, and a Psychoanalytic Studies program. Several of these programs offer Graduate Certificates—organized sequences of courses that culminate in a certificate, providing systematic interdisciplinary training.
