Georgetown's English M.A. program is vibrant, forward-thinking, and dedicated to providing students with diverse options and numerous pathways for academic and career growth. We encourage applications from students planning to continue toward a Ph.D. at other institutions after earning their M.A. at Georgetown, as well as from those pursuing careers in writing, editing, teaching, and other fields demanding advanced abilities in written communication, critical thinking, and research.
The English Department provides a challenging curriculum culminating in an M.A. in English. By engaging with English studies, you'll explore the linguistic and structural elements of narratives across various mediums—from poetry and drama to novels, memoirs, films, and video games. You'll examine both profound and subtle emotions, monumental and trivial conflicts, heroic and ordinary actions, along with the eloquent and straightforward language that collectively reveal profound insights into human identity.
