Master of Arts in English
Dr. Elza Tiner speaks about her research in medieval Biblical texts at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto and Oxford University during summer 2012.
MA English students deepen their knowledge of literature and develop professional abilities in literary analysis and writing.
The MA prepares you for:
- Further graduate study in English
- Teaching in secondary schools and colleges
- Professional writing and editing
- Further study and careers in fields requiring critical analysis, creative thinking, literary knowledge, or the ability to communicate in precise, persuasive prose.
The seminar-style courses engage you in rigorous intellectual and aesthetic studies of literature. In researching and writing the thesis, you will work individually with faculty to complete an in-depth study.
Our 36-hour program includes:
- Diverse critical approaches to the study of literature and language
- Master's thesis
- Enrichment opportunities through the Thornton Writing Program, which brings creative writers to campus to read and teach
- Enrichment opportunities through the Geraldine Lyon Owen Speaker Series
- Editing opportunities through the James Dickey Review
