This program provides advanced studies in literature, creative writing, and linguistics. Designed to go beyond undergraduate education, it offers a unique learning experience focused on deeper exploration and enhanced analytical skills. The English Department provides both in-person and online M.A. programs, with identical course offerings across both formats. The English M.A. requires 36 semester hours and offers thesis and non-thesis tracks. Thesis candidates take 30 hours of graduate coursework plus 6 thesis hours, culminating in a written thesis and defense. Non-thesis students complete all 36 hours through coursework, compiling a portfolio of revised essays or creative works with a reflective essay, followed by a defense.
