The Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures offers graduate programs in French and Spanish. Graduate students may pursue minors in French or Spanish.
Graduate students have the opportunity to use the target language in their courses at UNT and can participate in the Study Abroad Program. French majors, through the French Co-op Program, have the opportunity to spend a year in France with a teaching position in English in Tours. Summer study programs are also available at the University of Strasbourg for French, and in Valencía for Spanish.

French and Spanish summer institutes
(summer MA program in French and Spanish)
Following the immersion principle, every June the French and Spanish Summer Institutes offer two graduate courses over a four-week period divided into two two-week sessions. This program enables graduate students to earn an MA in French or Spanish over four summers of course work supplemented by additional courses taken during the fall or spring term/semester, transfer credits and/or study in France or Spain. All students may combine courses taken during the fall and spring terms/semesters with courses taken during the French or Spanish Summer Institute. Advanced undergraduate students may register for the French or Spanish Summer Institute and receive credits at the 4000 level. ProgramsMaster’s DegreeCoursesFrenchGermanLanguageSpanish
