Overview

Instruction and supervision are so arranged as to ensure that students acquire a broad understanding of the whole field of Spanish and/or Luso-Afro-Brazilian studies as well as a specialized grasp of one of its subfields, and to prepare students to develop independently as scholars.

Program Offerings

The Spanish and Portuguese program from Princeton University is administered by the Director of Graduate Studies (DGS), in consultation with the Chair of the Department. These two officers are the Department's spokespersons on matters of policies and procedures as they pertain to departmental and university requirements and regulations.

Students consult regularly with the DGS concerning their intellectual interests and choices, as well as their course selection and academic performance in meetings scheduled from their first semester and throughout their graduate career.

Also in keeping with our commitment to fostering communication, a meeting of all students with the Chair and DGS will be scheduled each semester. A third channel for the exchange of ideas is offered by the graduate liaison committee (GLC) composed of graduate students representatives from each year who are expected to consult with the DGS throughout the term to communicate student concerns and suggestions.
