The English graduate program equips both new graduates and working professionals for careers in research, writing, editing, and teaching at secondary and postsecondary levels. Our curriculum offers varied literature and writing courses that provide cultural enrichment, rigorous research training, and marketable writing and media editing abilities.
Earning a master's in English qualifies graduates for college-level teaching positions, with many alumni continuing to prestigious PhD programs at institutions like Vanderbilt, UC Riverside, Indiana University, University of Washington, UMass, and Purdue.
The Technical Writing Certificate program prepares students for writing and editing roles across multiple sectors, particularly in Huntsville's tech and defense industries. Remarkably, 80% of certificate candidates secure employment either before graduating or immediately afterward.
For educators, our teacher certification and TESOL programs create pathways to new opportunities and higher salaries in secondary education settings.
