Master of Arts in English

The MA in English is designed to enable students to learn about, critique, and work in teaching, research, writing, or other fields that value a strong grounding in language, literature, rhetoric, and the study of culture through texts. The MA program provides a strong grounding in scholarly methods and in theory, making it an ideal preparation for doctoral study; it is also useful for teachers who want to sharpen their ability to teach literature and writing and for professionals who want to improve their writing skills.
