MA in English

While many of our students pursue the MA to teach high school honors programs, others take it for the joy of delving more intensely into great books. Many of our graduates go on to teach in regional high schools, and many continue on to doctoral programs. We have recently placed students at top-tier research institutions, including the University of Chicago, Boston University, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Our MA program also includes a strong writing component that prepares students for careers in writing, publishing, editing, and law.

Graduates with MAs in English complete their degrees with the ability to read closely, and speak and communicate with interest, passion, and clarity about literature and ideas. Our students are dedicated to improving their critical and creative abilities with written and spoken language. Graduates become more articulate leaders in their communities and workplaces.
