Description:

The University of Georgia (UGA) Department of Romance Languages offers
graduate programs in Romance Linguistics and Hispanic Linguistics leading to
M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. We are one of the most productive departments at UGA,
with a large faculty of professors who specialize in research on literature,
culture, linguistics and film. 

Our graduate programs in Romance linguistics offer a diversity of theoretical
and applied approaches to a number of linguistic sub-fields, including
phonetics, phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics,
historical linguistics, and second language acquisition (including L3/Ln
acquisition). 

We currently have a large and diverse group of graduate students from the USA,
Africa, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America working together in a
collegial environment. Students complete the requirements for the M.A. in 2
years and the requirements for the Ph.D. in 4-5 years. 

Although our PhD program in Hispanic Linguistics is rather young, we have a
strong graduate placement record at universities like Georgia College & State
University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and New Mexico State
University.

Our students benefit from close mentoring from professors and their peers,
monthly professional development workshops, and Romance languages pedagogy
training curriculum and support. We also offer funding opportunities for
graduate student travel to do research or present at regional, national, and
international academic conferences. Additionally, our students have
opportunities to work as a Teaching Assistant as part of our study abroad
programs in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru, and/or Spain.

Assistantships: 
All qualified ROML graduate students receive a Teaching Assistantship that
includes a tuition waiver (all but $25 per semester, fees not included) and a
stipend for living expenses while they complete their studies. Departmental
teaching assistantships are awarded for 4 semesters to M.A. students and an
additional 8 semesters to Ph.D. students who qualify. The assistantship
application is included in our admissions page. Additional opportunities for
financial support are offered through the UGA Graduate School. 

The Community: 
Athens, Georgia (https://www.visitathensga.com/) is a vibrant and diverse
community in the Southeastern United States. It is well-known for its rich
musical activity, having produced bands such as REM, the B-52s, and Widespread
Panic. It offers public transportation, is a walkable town, and has an
increasing amount of bike lanes. It is also quite affordable, with a
relatively low cost of living. It is also 90 minutes from Atlanta, a national
and international transit hub. 

Note: We also have rolling admissions throughout the year. The deadline listed
here is for a Fall 2020 start.
