The two-year program offers students the opportunity to engage in dynamic seminars, to teach undergraduates, to obtain professional development training for academic conferences and publication and to network with contacts across the region.

Leaders in their fields, our department?s cutting-edge professors specialize in American Literature, British Literature, Children?s Literature, Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, and Digital Humanities.

Our graduates have found success not only in further graduate work and teaching, but also in publishing, editing, non-profit work, and legal professions, demonstrating that while our M.A. students study literature, they also learn skills that transfer beyond academia.
