Graduate Programs
Graduate Programs in English
Join a graduate program designed with master’s candidates at its center—one that fosters collaboration, professional mentorship, and a strong sense of academic community. Our cohorts often include active regional educators and international students, enriching discussions with diverse perspectives. Increasingly, courses in professional writing and rhetoric are available online, offering even greater flexibility.
Students complete a culminating project tailored to their goals: a traditional master’s thesis for those planning to pursue a Ph.D., or Starred Papers that allow for focused research across two shorter projects. Writing Studies candidates may also choose to complete a professional portfolio that highlights their development and expertise.
