专业概况

在这里学什么？

The program allows students to explore new facets of English study – everything from the intricacies of skills such as creating an assignment-sequence for a class, preparing technical documentation, grant-writing, or editing a short story, to the challenges of poetics, literary and rhetorical theory, and empirical field-research on writing – while also deepening and widening their knowledge of literature. The degree culminates with a professional portfolio that graduates use to advance their goals toward PhD or MFA programs, teaching careers, employment in the private or public-sector, or personal growth.

Graduate students are central actors in the program’s intellectual community: they serve on committees, organize events, participate in research expos, and have their own symposium. Teaching Assistantships in the award-winning first-year composition program include full-tuition waivers, close mentoring, a one-one teaching load, generous stipend support, and a strong benefits package. Students can apply for a third year of funding through the competitive Ulrich Wicks Distinguished Teaching Assistantship. Poets in the program are eligible for support through the Millay Prize for Poetry.

The department offers optional concentrations in Creative Writing, Gender and Literature, Poetry and Poetics, and Writing Studies. English M.A. students may also pursue the interdisciplinary concentration in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, offered by the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program. The degree provides valuable training for teachers of English in high school and community colleges. Those interested in competing for top doctoral programs in literature or writing studies or pursuing a competitive MFA will receive solid preparation for future studies. Alumni of our program have also gone on to careers in journalism, law, publishing, library science, theater, politics, consulting, editing, web and social-media content, photography, and all sectors of public and private education.
