The English Department offers two options for the Master of Arts degree:

• M.A. in English: Literature
• M.A. in English: TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)

Our graduate students are strongly supported both in their academic studies and professional development, as evidenced by their conference presentations, grant awards, and publications (see Student News & Notes ). They also support each other academically and personally through workshops, poetry readings, and other social events sponsored by the English Graduate Student Association (EGSA).

Our alumni teach in private and public secondary schools, colleges, universities, and English language institutes (in the U.S. and abroad), work in publishing, creative writing, the non-profit sector, and private industry.

They have also been accepted to many outstanding Ph.D. and MFA programs, including Texas A & M, Florida State University, University of Houston, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, University of Louisiana-Lafayette, Southern Illinois University, University of Rhode Island, Carnegie Mellon University, University of New Hampshire, University of Idaho, and Marquette University.
