Faculty will also review your statement of purpose, which must be written in the target language, to further evaluate your readiness for graduate-level course work.

The graduate online Spanish MATL degree is different from traditional face-to-face course work. There will be required chats and discussion groups in the target language that will allow you to be part of an online second language community. But this type of participation also requires more self-discipline and personal motivation. You may have to make more effort to connect with instructors and fellow graduate students. Keep in mind that graduate school requires a lot more reading and writing, and this is especially true in an online environment. Students should expect to spend a significant amount of time weekly studying, attending online class meetings, and completing projects.

Yes, as long as you qualify for the languages in which you would like the dual emphases. A dual-emphasis degree is 45 hours. Please see the Graduate Student Handbook for more information.

All international students must follow the same application procedures as domestic students. In addition they must take the IELTS or TOEFL to qualify for the program. Please see the Bulletin linked in the course list for details.

Yes, most courses have a chat component in the fall and spring semesters. You would need to be available to chat during those times. Times are listed on SOAR. Teachers can work with you to make up missed chats, if necessary, but keep in mind that chat is included as part of your grade and is considered important for increasing interaction with your classmates and professors. Chat usually occurs once a week and lasts an hour. It occurs either in late afternoon or early evening, making it convenient to working teachers.
