Admission
Incoming students should have undergraduate degrees in the particular language of study or in teaching, although we do accept on a provisional basis those students who have considerable expertise in the language and culture in other ways, e.g., native speakers or U. S. citizens with extensive travel, living, and educational experience abroad.
All applications are reviewed by the department head and the graduate faculty within the department. The priority deadline for consideration for funding (Graduate Teaching Assistantship and/or scholarships) is December 15 (fall admission) for all candidates. Depending on the language you wish to study, assistantships may or may not be available after this date.
Applications need to include the following:
- Personal statement explaining your aims and interests
- Application
- A recording or video responding to the following questions: (1) what is your interest in the program? (please answer in English) and (2) please describe your professional goals long term. (please answer in the target language of study)
- Three letters of recommendation from persons qualified to speak informatively of the applicant’s academic performance and his or her potential for advanced studies in the field.
- Copies of the official transcripts from each college or university the applicant has attended. Only official copies are accepted by the Graduate School.
- Application fee (required by the Graduate School)
- Completed application to the Graduate School
- For international students, an official TOEFL, or IELTS score report and Kansas State University’s financial affidavit
Financial support
A limited number of graduate teaching assistantships (GTA) are available. These positions offer the opportunity of teaching university-level courses under close pedagogical supervision. Full-time teaching assistants will teach three courses per year). All full-time GTAs receive a 100% tuition waiver. GTAs must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 hours of classwork in the Department of Modern Languages per semester to qualify. Except in unusual circumstances, GTAs are expected to enroll in 9 hours. Assistantships are normally renewable for a period of two years, assuming satisfactory teaching performance and progress toward the degree. The department also offers scholarships; awarded on a competitive basis, these may be held in addition to an assistantship.
