The Master of Arts in Romance Languages at Ohio State University invites students to deepen their expertise in the French, Spanish, and Italian-speaking worlds through literature, linguistics, film, translation, and cultural studies. The program supports specialization in a single language or comparative approaches, preparing graduates for academic research, global communication, or cultural diplomacy careers. With access to archives, digital humanities labs, and study abroad opportunities, students analyze how language and narrative shape history, identity, and resistance across the Romance language spectrum.
