The M.A. in English program provides four specialized tracks reflecting key aspects of our field: Literature, Linguistics, Rhetoric and Composition, and Film Studies. These concentrations maintain a common focus on research and analytical skills while presenting varied approaches to examining culture and language across different contexts. The literature specialization features coursework spanning global literary traditions, historical periods, and critical theories (including postcolonial, feminist, cultural, and psychoanalytic perspectives), complemented by studies in film, linguistics, and rhetoric. Through required methodology courses and distribution requirements, students gain comprehensive knowledge of literary traditions and essential research skills, while elective options allow for both broad exploration and focused specialization.
