English - Creighton University

English from Creighton University is a Campus Master English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Creighton University's Department of English offers a multi-track Master of Arts degree that allows students to design courses of study that meet their particular needs, whether they want to prepare a solid foundation for further graduate work, to lay the groundwork or build on a teaching career, to learn to apply the latest technology in the rhetoric and composition program, or simply to pursue the love of literature and writing with like-minded people. Each track is carefully designed to lead from foundation courses to advanced seminars and finally to the thesis. The Introduction to Graduate Studies provides an overview of graduate studies in English and strategies for achieving success. Thorough training in the elements of literary criticism leads students through the maze of critical movements. Seminars allow students to delve deeply into various topics of literary studies. The teaching practicum brings students into the classroom with a faculty mentor to discuss all aspects of teaching and to take part in a hands-on teaching environment. And finally, the master's essay (or three-paper option) allows the student to explore one topic, or a limited number of topics, in greater detail. The graduate English faculty at Creighton University are well-known for the high standards they set, for their high energy, and for their deep commitment to teaching and to the individual needs of each student. They are highly-respected professionals in their respective fields, with an impressive record of publications, honors, and achievements. In addition, they are equally committed to teaching. They know that, in the challenging world of higher education in English, it isn't enough to teach well. They mentor their students, training, advising, coaching, and encouraging them at every step. Class size is deliberately kept small in order to facilitate the mentoring relationship between teachers and students.
