在这里学什么？

The Master of Arts in English program is designed for students who wish to pursue the advanced study of English and American literature. The program offers two tracks, both of which provide students opportunity to refine and expand their knowledge of literature written in English and their facility with its criticism.

The traditional “Literary Studies” track begins with an introduction to the theory and practice of literary criticism and research and continues with coursework allowing students to work with faculty in small classes to investigate the discipline of literary studies and the scope of British and American literature from their beginnings to the present day. In this way, the MA program supports students' pursuit of careers in teaching at the K-12 level (or enhances the skills and qualifications of those already teaching); helps prepare students for further advanced study in a doctoral program; and gives them the tools necessary for other careers involving the reading, writing, and analysis of texts.

The “Online-Hybrid Track for Teachers” is designed specifically for practicing teachers, whether in public or private settings, who want to deepen their knowledge of the type of texts frequently assigned in middle- and high-school Literature courses. Students read widely and critically in the school literature canons, and they work closely with faculty to develop their research and presentation skills. The “Online-Hybrid Track for Teachers” offers several advantages for existing educators:

• Graduate level study and research of American, British and World canonical texts
• Available accelerated course schedule
• Summer online courses
• Capstone project geared toward practicing teachers

The MA program as a whole offers a variety of courses on a broad range of topics reflecting the diverse interests of the English Department's faculty. Typical approaches include in-depth examinations of individual authors, comparative studies of two or more authors, explorations of established or emergent literary forms, historical treatments of particular periods, and investigations of important critical or theoretical methods. Independent studies and guided readings are also available to allow students to pursue interests not addressed in scheduled courses.
