The Graduate Program in English
MA Program Coordinator: Professor Katharine Goodland
The graduate program in English offers an MA, and is designed for students who wish to increase their knowledge of English language and literature, to enhance their critical skills in literature and writing, and for educators who wish to deepen their knowledge of language and literature for the purposes of teaching.
Two options are offered, one with a concentration in literature and one with a concentration in rhetoric. Students electing the literature option will take at least five courses in literature (ENG 700-level courses); students electing the rhetoric option may take three courses in linguistics or writing (ENG 600-level courses). For both options, one course must be literature written before 1800.
For students who are not pursuing teacher certification, 30 credits are required for the degree. For students with initial certification seeking professional certification as high school teachers of English, 34 credits are required for the degree.
For more information on the MA program, and for advisement, contact Prof. Katharine Goodland.
