Program Description

The two concentrations of the English M.A. offer preparation for students who aspire: to teach writing or literary study in high-school or community-college settings; to teach English to adult learners and to students abroad; to pursue career opportunities in fields such as journalism, publishing, law, creative writing, advertising, arts administration, or civil service; or to pursue study at the doctoral level.
