Program Information |
: |
The Department of
English Language and Literatures offers a flexible M.A. program
designed to meet various needs, including those of prospective or
practicing high school or college English teachers, ESL specialists,
professional writers, and pre-doctoral students. The program is
structured around work in language, literature, and writing. Courses
are regularly available in the standard areas of literature,
linguistics, composition/rhetoric, professional writing, and gender
studies, as well as in nontraditional and interdisciplinary studies.
Elective options allow students to design programs to meet their
educational goals. In addition to the course and thesis options,
special options allow students to combine courses in literature or
language with work in creative writing, professional writing,
technical writing, women’s studies, or the teaching of writing and
literature, among others. The program in TESOL (Teaching English to
Speakers of Other Languages), which includes linguistics and which
may be pursued as an elective option, as an endorsement for
certified public school teachers, or as a concentration in itself,
prepares students to teach English to nonnative speakers. Details
about the different offerings in the TESOL program are available in
the departmental office. Interdisciplinary options allow work in
programs like reading, communications, religion studies, or history.
Internships within the various options prepare students for
professional writing careers, for college teaching, or for positions
in special collections, archives, and private and rare book
libraries by offering on-the-job experience at appropriate sites.
Full-time or part-time study is possible. |
