English - La Sierra University

English from La Sierra University is a Campus Master English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Students with a baccalaureate degree with a major or equivalent in English from an accredited college are encouraged to apply. However, other students will be accepted whose transcripts, recommendations, and Graduate Record Exam scores show promise of exceptional work in English language and literature . Students who have less than a full major in English should expect to work longer for the degree. Indeed, for each student, a personal plan of study will be designed that takes into account previous collegiate experience and career goals. Each student's study plan, when combined with the undergraduate English major, should meet the following basic requirements by the time graduate courses have been completed: 2 courses in American literature 2 period courses in English literature 2 courses in major authors (including Shakespeare or Chaucer) 1 genre course 2 additional courses in literature chosen in consultation with advisor 2 courses in literary criticism 1 graduate course in bibliography and research 1 writing course, taken while in residence 1 course in language and linguistics 1 course in religion, see below Many of these courses will have been taken as part of the student's baccalaureate program; a student's graduate program will make up any deficiencies as well as meet individual interests and professional goals.
