MA in English, Specialization in Literature

This two-year program balances coverage with flexibility, providing high quality, personalized instruction for graduate students interested in teaching at the secondary, beginning college and university levels, and/or in pursuing further graduate study in literature. Graduate students take courses that focus on pedagogy, theory & criticism, and literary analysis to develop their knowledge of major literary trends and discipline-specific research skills. In developing courses, faculty devote particular attention to literature and film's cultural and historical contexts, often with reference to race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and linguistic difference as cultural phenomena.
