Expansive Course Options and Faculty Approaches

The MA in English exposes graduate students to a variety of theoretical and pedagogical approaches. We promote students' ability to pursue independent research by presenting current resources and methodologies in the field. By offering a broad range of courses, we allow students to expand their knowledge of:

• literature
• theory
• criticism

By working with students individually on directed studies, exams or theses, we give them the opportunity to explore a subject in depth and to develop expertise in a particular area.
