Master of the Arts Degree in English

ADMISSIONS

Candidates for matriculation in the Master of Arts program of this department must show a B average or better in their undergraduate work and a score of not less than 500 (Verbal) on their Graduate Record Examinations. Most applicants will have majored in literature (English, comparative, or foreign) at the undergraduate level. However, students with strong academic credentials may apply even if they do not have the recommended background in literature. The Graduate Program Coordinator will interview each candidate for the program regarding his or her scholastic record and intellectual or professional goals. Students admitted to the Graduate Program in English must take at least one course in each academic year in order to maintain matriculation. Exceptions may be made upon application to the departmental Graduate Program Coordinator.

Non-matriculated students must obtain the approval of the departmental Graduate Program Coordinator in order to enter graduate courses in English.

DEADLINES

Credentials are processed as soon as they are received. The above program operates on a rolling admissions basis; however, the Office of Graduate Admissions & Support Services recommends that students submit their credentials as far in advance as possible from the semester they plan to begin their studies to ensure a timely review of their application.
