The study of a modern language allows for the development and refinement of communication, listening and speaking skills. Such study also endows students with a concern for world affairs and an appreciation of and respect for individual differences.

The School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers language and literature courses in French and Spanish, among many other languages. Specifically, the School offers BA and MA degrees in Romance Languages with emphasis in French or Spanish and an MA with an emphasis in French or Spanish Language Teaching. Minors are also available in French, Italian Area Studies, Luso-Brazilian Area Studies, Spanish, Latinx Studies, and in other languages and areas of studies. The School also participates in the interdepartmental minor in film studies.

Double majors within the College of Arts and Science, as well as dual degree programs outside of the College of Arts and Science, can be arranged if the second degree is identified early. Combined programs with journalism, political science, agriculture, education and business are among the possibilities.

About the MA Programs in Romance Languages

The School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers two distinct master-degree programs in Romance Languages. An MA with an emphasis in Spanish or French and an MA with an emphasis in second-language teaching in French or Spanish. The faculty and graduate student seminars are an interdisciplinary, interdepartmental series seeking to provide a collegial atmosphere in which scholars can present their recent work. The department strongly encourages study abroad as a way to reinforce language skills, broaden one’s horizons, and add an unforgettable experience to a meaningful university education.

The School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at the University of Missouri has the country’s only focus area in the field of Afro-Romance Studies. In order to facilitate research collaboration between our faculty members working in this field and scholars outside our institution, we have established the Institute for Languages and Literatures of the African Diaspora. The Institute serves first and foremost to expose black writers of French, Portuguese and Spanish expression to a wider audience.
