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 M.A. program serves as foundational preparation for doctoral studies, with the expectation that admitted students will progress to complete their Ph.D. Consequently, we do not maintain a standalone M.A. program. Students can specialize in Writing Studies for either degree, and Ph.D. candidates focusing on other disciplines may additionally pursue a Writing Studies concentration.
