The Master of Arts in English provides the following:
(1) a carefully planned and integrated program ensuring a foundation of professional skills through a common core of courses;
(2) some uniform degree of coverage in British and American literature; (3) more intensive training in reading, critical analysis, research, and writing than is possible in undergraduate work; and (4) breadth through an emphasis on the fields of literature, language, and composition.
To meet these objectives, the English graduate program has been designed primarily to provide the following:
(1) a well- balanced program for those who wish to terminate their studies at the master’s level and whose primary aim is to teach in a community college;
(2) advanced training for teachers who wish to improve their professional skills and status;
(3) a variety of courses for students who plan to pursue the Ph.D. degree at another institution; and
(4) continuing education for those who wish to extend their knowledge as an end in itself through an interesting and stimulating series of classes in literature, criticism, and language, as well as the teaching of composition and English as a Second Language.
The MA qualifies students to teach in the California community college system or secondary schools as well as prepares them for careers in editing, advertising, and public information.
