English - Georgetown University

English from Georgetown University is a Campus Master English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Georgetown's M.A. program in English offers students a breadth of choice and a variety of opportunities for scholarly and professional specialization and development; we welcome applications equally from students contemplating pursuing a Ph.D. elsewhere after completing the M.A. at Georgetown, as we do from present or prospective teachers of English in secondary schools, as well as from people hoping to pursue or to advance further in careers in writing and editing and many other fields requiring advanced skills in written communication, critical analysis and research. Our Master's degree students do not compete for attention or funding with Ph.D. students, and the Department offers a supportive environment for the transition from baccalaureate to graduate level work; many of our courses include segments on theory and methodology in order to aid in this transition. The twenty seminars offered each year reflect the faculty's broad interests but also allow students to design for themselves programs of study in several areas of concentration, including Medieval Studies, the Early Modern period, British and Trans-Atlantic 18th Century studies, Romanticism, British and American 19th Century studies, Critical Theory, and Irish and other Anglophone World literatures, as well as in a variety of emerging interdisciplinary fields, including: cultural studies, ethnic, race and post-colonial studies, gender and sexuality studies, and performance, film and media studies. In addition, the program boasts a strong commitment to training students in the teaching of writing through a combination of coursework, direct individual and group mentoring from Writing and other faculty, and hands-on, practical experience in apprentice-teaching and peer-tutoring settings. All graduate classes are seminars with an enrollment maximum of 18. Close student-faculty contact is a hallmark of the program. View more details on Georgetown University .
