UNI System of Summer Institutes for Spanish Teachers

UNISSIST programs have been designed to specifically respond to the wishes and needs of both teachers and non-teachers seeking a quality Masters of Arts program. Unique to this program is its flexibility.

• Students can complete all of their course work and examinations for the M.A. in Spanish in three summers by attending the UNISSIST IN SPAIN OR MEXICO program, plus completing a 3-credit research project during the academic year.
• Students who are willing to spend more than three summers to complete work for the M.A. degree have the flexible options of attending for shorter periods of time and may choose any of the three UNISSIST venues. There is a seven-year time limit for degree completion.
• Students may go to any of the three UNISSIST program sites in any year and the years of participation need not be consecutive.
• All credits earned on UNISSIST programs are fully applicable to your M.A. program (if you have been accepted to degree status).
• UNISSIST offers the M.A. with emphasis in the traditional area of study of language, literature and civilization.

The UNISSIST programs continue the long-standing philosophy of fostering a close relationship among students, faculty and families, as well as contact with many aspects of the local and regional culture.
