Master of Arts in English (Literature Specialization)

Program Overview

A Master of Arts (MA) degree in English can be a passport to any number of careers where employers value communication and research skills, proficiency with digital technologies, and the ability to think critically to solve complex programs. Our MA English alumni work in publishing, journalism, education, marketing, law, and politics, among other fields.

The Creative Writing Concentration in the MA in English is designed to help writers find their voices and find their audiences. It is built around poetry and prose workshops led by award-winning published authors. Faculty take a holistic approach to teaching that merges rigorous literary study with a communal, writer’s retreat-style experience. Students take a combination of literature courses and creative writing workshops. A special seminar on Teaching Creative Writing will help prepare students interested in future instruction careers. Each student completes a significant final thesis work of prose or poetry during a semester-long one-on-one collaboration with our instructors.
