Department: English

The Master of Arts in English is a 30-credit program that aims to provide students with opportunities for scholarly and professional specialization in American, British, and global literatures, as well as a wide range of fields, forms, and theories. Course requirements include 2 foundational seminars in graduate methodologies and literary theory, 7 electives that enable students to pursue a variety of research interests, and a thesis essay written and revised with the guidance of a faculty advisor. The English Department prides itself on offering a collegial and supportive learning environment for our graduate students. Our courses are small by design, with an average enrollment of 12 to 15 students. There is no stipulated course load; each student, in consultation with the Directors of Graduate Studies, creates a schedule and course of study tailored to their particular professional and intellectual interests and goals.
