ABOUT THE LITERATURE OPTION
The Literature option within the English MA Program provides students with the opportunity to study a wide array of texts and authors from a range of historical periods and geographic and cultural milieus. Consisting of ten courses (30 units), the program provides a set of core courses to facilitate graduate-level skills and methodologies (ENGL 601, ENGL 604, ENGL 638), and then offers the flexibility for students to pursue as broad or as specific a program of study as they wish. The English-Literature MA option prepares students to teach at the high school or college level, to apply for PhD programs, or to pursue a range of other career and professional opportunities.
