Course summary
This program provides post-baccalaureate students with study in the theory and practice of English. It is intended to prepare students for professional advancement and for further study in either literature or writing. The literature track emphasizes the study of literary texts with related study of writing, theory, and methods. The literature track also requires an internship within the context of an undergraduate literature course, a portfolio of written work, and a written comprehensive exam over selected work taken in the program. Because the master's program is predicated upon the complementary relationship between theory and practice in the study of English, the program requires ENG 500 Theory and Practice of English, another course in theory, and the internship. Students in this program not only will become familiar with the aesthetic, formal, and theoretical underpinnings of their field of study, but also will learn how to address their audiences by means of professional discourse.
Program modules
The modules include Theory and Practice of English 3 hrs; Language Theory or Writing Theory or Literary Criticism 3 hrs; American or English Periods 6 hrs; Selected Authors/Genres 6 hrs; Internship in Literature 3 hrs. To complete either 30-hour program, students elect three courses (nine credits) from literature, writing, theory, or independent study.
