Description:

The division of Spanish and Portuguese at Texas Tech University is pleased to announce that one fellowship will be available for a highly exceptional candidate beginning his/her Ph.D. in 2016/17. In addition to a competitive stipend and professional development support, the selected applicant will receive a generous four-year package.

Texas Tech University offers the Ph.D. in Spanish with two tracks: Spanish Literature and Spanish Linguistics. Students are encouraged to minor in Portuguese. Financial assistance to graduate students is provided via assistantships and instructorships to promising graduate students enrolled in our programs. Support is often based on the typical academic year (fall-spring), and may include summer assignments as long as students remain in good standing.

Our faculty encourages excellence in scientific research from the beginning of the M.A. and Ph.D. by engaging in collaborative projects with students and other scholars here and abroad that examine questions related to the acquisition of Spanish as a second language, bilingualism, language in contact and language variation, as well as linguistic aspects related to new literacies, technology and heritage language learners. Faculty is known not only for the implementation of diverse research methodologies in their investigation, but also for the development of the research itself and its subsequent publications.

Additionally, this track also places emphasis on instruction for students with an interest in teaching Spanish as a second and as a heritage language. The objective of this program, therefore, is for faculty and students to work collaboratively in order to create research and pedagogical arenas in which ideas can be developed and explored and where students become active participants in this endeavor.
