Welcome!

To meet the varied goals of its students, the Master of Arts in English program offers small evening classes taught by faculty who are both committed classroom teachers and active literary scholars.

Varied course offerings prepare students for many possible paths—American, multicultural, British, and postcolonial courses,  focusing on both canonical and emergent literatures, and including a range of theoretical approaches provide a good foundation for doctoral studies; linguistics, composition and writing pedagogy courses develop the expertise of current and future teachers.

A generous allocation of electives and opportunities for independent study allows students to tailor the program to their individual needs and interests, perhaps leading to other career possibilities.  Balancing scholarly rigor with flexibility, the program is designed to help students pursue a range of intellectual and professional aspirations in the area of literary studies.
