Coursework prepares students to complete an original, self-defined, faculty-advised final project or thesis.Īnother of our MA program's goals is to offer unique research and teaching opportunities. Our courses are taught as small seminars with approximately 15 participants, offering students the opportunity for ongoing interaction with each other and with faculty in a challenging yet friendly academic environment. One of our MA program’s central goals is to create a community of critical readers and writers. All of our students engage with the imaginative worlds that texts create-worlds created and shared by literary authors, analytical writers, responsive readers, and reflective thinkers. Students often create an integrated program of study that includes courses from two or three areas. We offer a flexible program of study with four areas of concentration: literature, composition, pedagogy, and creative writing. Our MA graduate program in English encompasses both traditional approaches to English studies and reexaminations of those approaches.
