During the event, prospective students can: 

  • Learn about MA and PhD programs, admissions, and funding opportunities.
  • Meet faculty and discuss research interests and opportunities.
  • Hear from current graduate students about their experiences at UGA.
  • Ask questions about applying, graduate student life, and living in Athens.

Faculty specializing in Hispanic Linguistics from UGA’s Department of Romance Languages will also participate in our Open House. Prospective students interested in graduate study in Hispanic Linguistics are encouraged to attend this event as well as the Department of Romance Languages’ separate Open House to learn more about its graduate programs.
