Master of Arts in English (Writing, Rhetorics, and Literacies)

Course Description

The Department of English offers instruction leading to the Master of Arts in English with a track in writing, rhetorics, and literacies. This program emphasizes rhetorical strategies of oral, written, material, and digital texts through classical and contemporary theories, methods, and contexts. Our degree candidates come into the program with diverse academic backgrounds and interests, and many of our graduates go on to continue scholarly work in rhetoric, English studies, law, communication, and other related fields, and professional careers in teaching, public service, and industry. Students work closely with the director to pursue individual interests in rhetoric and composition – to make connections with other fields such as anthropology, communication, education, linguistics, literature, philosophy, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. Students also may write theses that employ a range of scholarly approaches, such as historical, theoretical, or empirical. A non-thesis option is also available.
