About Master of Arts - English
As a student in the Master of Arts (M.A.) in English, they will be a part of a graduate program defined by small, in-person seminars, one-on-one mentorship with publishing faculty, and a serious commitment to literature, ideas, and conversation. The M.A. is particularly appropriate for those who are looking to develop an advanced knowledge of literature, research, and writing for a career in the humanities professions (e.g., publishing, grant-writing, arts management) or a bridge to the Ph.D.
Over the course of the master's degree, students will:
- Learn advanced approaches to English research and contemporary theory.
- Take a wide-range of courses in American, British, and global literature, including the origins of English language and literature
- Have the option to specialize in African-American Literature (9 credits)
- Be eligible to teach their own college-level class through one of University's Graduate Teaching Assistantship
- Have access to funding to present their creative or scholarly work at academic conferences
- Show the expertise to students gained from their coursework or independent research through one of two final capstones: the Master's Comprehensive Exam or Master's Thesis
- Discover professional opportunities through a graduate internship or apprenticeship in one of New Haven’s arts, humanities, or educational organizations (e.g., research libraries, grant-writing, etc.)
