About the program

Our graduate courses focuses on literature, culture, and film, with a strong foundation in language pedagogy. Our Foreign Languages program at Mississippi State University provides an extremely flexible and interdisciplinary course of study. We also work with the English department to provide instruction in linguistics to interested students. Our M.A. students can also obtain, while working towards their degree, a teaching license, with a specially-designed Pathway to Licensure in World Languages.

The majority of our M.A. students work for the department as Teaching Assistants, which covers the cost of their education and pays them a stipend for living expenses. Roughly one-third of our graduates go into teaching at the secondary or post-secondary levels, and another quarter of our graduates continue study in a Ph.D. program.

Several of our graduates have also pursued work abroad following the completion of their degree. The department works to ensure that its graduate students receive advising related to academic and career options, and our faculty is happy to help cater the program to best position its students for future success.

Program Structure

Students pursing the thesis option are required to take at least 30 hours of graduate-level coursework, including 21 hours within the major field of study (FLX), with at least 12 of those hours being at the 7000- or 8000-level. At least 3 of those hours must be coursework in FL classes (FL, FLF, FLG, FLS, etc.).
