About the Department

Situated within the intellectually vibrant Washington D.C./Northern
Virginia area, the Department of Modern and Classical Languages plays
a key role in serving the culturally and linguistically diverse
student body that defines George Mason University, which is the

specialty, faculty members participate in a variety of
interdisciplinary programs on campus, such as Cultural Studies,
Education, Film and Media Studies, Global Affairs, the Honors College,
Latin American Studies, Linguistics, and Women and Gender Studies.

The Spanish program offers an interdisciplinary content-based
curriculum rooted in principles of critical and social justice
pedagogy including community-based approaches to language learning,
Spanish for the professions, and courses on multilingualism. We serve
a diverse body of undergraduate and graduate students who speak
Spanish as a native, heritage, second or additional language, and we
offer a Spanish major, minor, Bachelor’s Accelerated Master’s (BAM)
degree, a Master’s degree with concentrations in Spanish,
Spanish/Bilingual-Multicultural Education, and Spanish and French, and
an innovative online graduate certificate in Spanish Heritage Language
Education.

Instructional assistant professors are expected to teach a standard
course load of 12 credits (4 courses) per semester, and to engage in
service at the departmental level and beyond. While not required,
instructional assistant professors may also pursue the opportunity to

term.
