Program Overview
Our program offers classes in British and American literature from Shakespeare to the postmodern novel and in creative writing. We have particularly strong offerings in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature. Small in size, the MA program emphasizes a solid foundation in general literary studies that provide you with the broad knowledge to be able to work in your own area of thesis specialization. The degree offers excellent preparation for further graduate study or for employment in any field that values critical thinking, strong writing skills, and research experience. MA students can choose to specialize in Literary Studies: Creative Writing or Literary Studies: Literary Criticism. Current USD undergraduate students may choose from an accelerated degree option.
