MATL STUDENT HANDBOOK

It is possible to undertake course work for two emphasis areas, though we do not recommend that you pursue such work simultaneously.
Technically, completion of two emphases entails 15 hours in the FL core and 15 hours in each language emphasis, for a total of 45 hours (15 FL core, 15 first emphasis, 15 second emphasis).
However, we recommend you consider the reason for seeking two emphases. If you need to get certification in the second area, you may first wish to investigate the requirements for the certification because it may not require the completion of all 15 hours of course work the second emphasis. You can only earn the one degree, the MATL. Please feel free to discuss a second emphasis with your adviser.

Please note that it is not possible to graduate and then return to add a second emphasis area to your degree. Once you graduate, your degree is “frozen.” However, you can undertake the course work for the second emphasis, which would be recorded on your transcript.
