MA in English and Writing Studies

California State University - San Bernardino

The M.A. in English and Writing Studies enables students to become socially committed, rhetorically flexible writers who make significant contributions in their chosen fields and communities. Our graduates are well prepared to pursue secondary or college teaching, advanced graduate study, and other careers emphasizing writing, research, and analytical thinking. The program offers a broad interdisciplinary foundation in English studies and five concentrations to develop your professional skills and pursue your unique career path,Applied Linguistics and TESLComposition and RhetoricLiteraturePedagogyPublic and Professional WritingOur multiple concentrations create an energizing environment of interdisciplinary study for our students, who are encouraged to take courses and conduct research across disciplinary lines. Many students take the opportunity to do a dual concentration in two of these fields. Students consistently comment on how much they value the smaller classes and the sense of community that our program affords. We support students' professional development by holding workshops and roundtables in how to apply to academic conferences, to community colleges, and to PhD programs. In addition, we offer a paid, well-mentored Teaching Associate program that allows students to teach their own composition or literature course at the undergraduate level.
