About Master of Arts - English Literature and Publishing
Program Description
The Master of Arts in English program offers graduate courses in all periods of English and American literature as well as electives in language, teaching, and writing. The program requires a Capstone Portfolio or Thesis at the end of a student’s course work, and provides options for independent study, internships, and thesis research.
Elective courses in the MA in English may be used for graduate certificate programs, such as the Certificate in Teaching English in Two-Year Colleges. With planning, combined MA + certificate programs may require no additional coursework to fulfill all requirements.
