MA in Spanish University of Colorado Denver - Downtown Denver Campus

The Master of Arts Program in Spanish at the University of Colorado Denver offers an alternative to exclusively literary studies that traditionally lead to doctoral programs. By integrating language, literature and cultural studies with ancillary work in other disciplines, the degree provides the broader expertise desired by those who plan to pursue or are already pursuing careers outside the university. The program is not offered online.
