The Master of Arts program in English provides students with graduate education in the study of English, American, and world literatures, language, and cultures. The program offers students a broad knowledge of content in the discipline and helps them develop advanced proficiency in reading, writing, analysis and research skills, and teaching. The program offers three concentrations: Literary Studies, Teaching Literature and Writing, and Rhetoric and Composition.

Effective communicators are in high demand by employers, as are credentialed writing instructors to teach at the college level. The Rhetoric and Composition Graduate Certificate prepares students to teach composition and rhetoric courses in community colleges and university writing programs.
