Program Overview

Program Description:

The Master of Arts in English Program is designed to fill the needs of individuals seeking a graduate degree entirely on a part-time basis. Many classes are offered in late afternoon or evening hours throughout the normal school year. Pending sufficient enrollment, summer courses also may be offered. It is possible to enroll on a full-time basis as well. Completion of the terminal degree of master of arts in English may enable persons in such professional areas as education, law, government and business to reaffirm and extend their commitment to such work activities or make a career change. In addition to providing a sense of personal satisfaction, the Master of Arts in English degree also may provide a foundation for continued studies elsewhere toward a doctor of philosophy in English or other closely related fields in the humanities.

Requirements:
Proficiency in reading, writing and speaking in standard English form (s). Three professional and/or academic reference letters and official scores for the general Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are required. In addition to the Graduate Studies application packet, those wishing to be considered for admission to the Master of Arts in English Program must submit an essay of 1,250 words, which will enable the Master of Arts Committee to determine if candidates have the requisite writing skills to successfully complete the program.
