Master's degree candidates must complete at least eleven courses (33 credits). M.A. students can choose from a wide range of traditional historical literary periods, theoretical subjects, and courses that align with our Literature and Social Justice focus (though historical and L&SJ courses overlap significantly, with most offerings combining both elements). This structure ensures diversity in students' academic work and enhances their career prospects by preparing them to teach survey courses across multiple fields while potentially cultivating expertise in L&SJ. Students have the option to replace one course (3 credits) with a thesis project.

Qualification Requirements
Students who wish to enter the M.A. program should have an undergraduate English major or significant coursework in literature. Applicants are expected to have performed capably in all their baccalaureate work and to have earned at least a 3.5 average in their undergraduate English courses. Students who have begun graduate work at other institutions may be admitted to the M.A. program at Lehigh. Any transfer of credit must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies in English and the Dean of Graduate Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences. No more than six credits of graduate work completed elsewhere--credits that do not fulfill requirements of any other degree--may be applied to the M.A. program at Lehigh.
