MA in English - Literature and Writing

Duquesne University

As an M.A. student in the Department of English, you will be immersed in American & British literature, modernism, gender studies and so much more. We provide ample opportunities for research, professionalization and conference participation, and our mentorship program helps to set you up for success after graduation. Whether you are on our traditional English track or our Literature & Writing track, you will benefit from our small classes, individual attention from dedicated professors, an energetic and welcoming graduate community and our location in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh. You will also benefit from our emphasis on career readiness, which will help you build a bridge from your program to your future career. Recent graduates from each track have gone on to careers in business, education nonprofits and journalism. Students also continue their education in top ranked law programs and doctoral programs in literature and composition and rhetoric. Full-time students receive a discount percent on their tuition. Additional funding is available through departmental and university assistantships and teaching fellowships.
