This 30-credit Master of Arts program is tailored for certified educators seeking to deepen their literary knowledge while pursuing a reading endorsement. Participants engage with graduate-level coursework covering British, American, and global literature, alongside completing three specialized reading courses through Iowa State's School of Education.
Most graduate English classes are scheduled for late afternoons, evenings, or offered online to suit working teachers' schedules. Instructors frequently provide assignment alternatives that focus on teaching methodologies. For their final 3-credit project, students in this concentration may choose to develop a teaching-oriented Creative Component. The program proves particularly beneficial for educators in upper elementary, junior high, and secondary school settings, including those teaching dual-credit courses.
