M.A. in English

The MA program provides broad training in literature, language, and theory for a mix of students, ranging from teachers and other professionals in the greater Washington DC/Baltimore metropolitan area, who are well served by the terminal MA, to aspiring scholars who regard the MA as a step toward the PhD. MA students who are employed as professionals outside the University are permitted to pursue the program on a part-time basis.
