The two-year MA English program at University of Kentucky provides broad training in literature, language, and theory. The flexible program is designed to meet the academic and professional needs of a range of students, including scholars who plan to move on to the PhD degree and teachers and professionals in the region who wish to pursue the terminal MA. Students can select either literature or film as their area of concentration.

The department offers a range of courses in British, American, African-American, and Women’s Literature, Creative Writing, Film, and Literary Theory. English Department programs are made possible by a nationally recognized faculty, a strongly supportive University of Kentucky Research Foundation, an active university press, and a research library of 1.2 million volumes.
