Our flexible requirements and innovative course offerings allow our students to tailor their pursuits to their academic interests and career goals. Our graduates get placed in top doctoral programs and professional positions across the country.

CONCENTRATION IN LITERATURE

In the English MA, we conceive the term "literature" broadly, to mean all texts that may be read and analyzed. As a result, "literature" includes authors like Shakespeare and Melville, but also film, television, new media, popular culture, and the visual arts. In this way, our graduate seminars allow students to receive a thorough, theoretically informed graduate education in traditional areas of concentration, as well as in more recently conceived topics. Whether MA students study Shakespeare or Scorsese, they emerge from our program with a cutting-edge understanding of the subjects that they study, because the professors teaching them are well-known, publishing scholars.

RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION CONCENTRATION

Students in the rhetoric and composition concentration have taken a range of courses both inside and outside the English Department. Within the department, students have taken courses in technical and professional communication, computers and composition, and the rhetoric of popular culture, in addition to the foundational course in composition theory and pedagogy. Key offerings outside the department have included courses in media theory, sociology, American studies, educational theory, and rhetorical theory, among others
