The Department confers Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in Spanish. The graduate program has a student enrollment of about forty-five, roughly a third of whom are native speakers of Spanish. The program offers a variety of courses and seminars equally balanced between Spanish and Spanish-American literature. Individual programs of reading and research on topics not covered by courses are frequently arranged.

In addition, the Department places great emphasis on extensive faculty-student contact outside of the classroom. A Summer Workshop on Argentine Literature in Resistencia, El Chaco, for example, provides a unique opportunity to study Argentine literature and its creative process with some of the most important writers in Argentina today.
