The English Department provides graduate programs culminating in Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. We encourage dedicated students to advance their knowledge of English, American, and Anglophone linguistics, literature, and cinema beyond undergraduate studies. Our Ph.D. curriculum primarily prepares academic professionals for teaching and research roles in higher education institutions nationwide. The Master's program serves as foundational preparation for doctoral studies, with the expectation that M.A. candidates will continue to pursue their Ph.D. Consequently, we do not maintain a standalone terminal M.A. program. Students can specialize in Writing Studies for either degree, and Ph.D. candidates focusing on other disciplines may additionally pursue a graduate concentration in Writing Studies.
