The English Department at Baylor University awards both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English and American literature, providing comprehensive study across all significant historical eras with an emphasis on literary analysis and aesthetic appreciation. The graduate program maintains a longstanding specialization in the intersection of literature and religion. Our distinguished professors are dedicated to equipping each student for their unique post-graduation path, whether that involves academic teaching, further graduate studies, or alternative academic careers. Baylor's creative writing program continues to expand, and although the M.A. remains literature-focused, students can enroll in two creative writing courses during their two-year program and complete a creative thesis alongside their literary studies.
