Program Overview
Our program offers classes in British and U.S. literatures-from early modern drama to contemporary American poetics-and a diverse range of special topics courses and graduate-level creative writing workshops in multiple genres with professional writers. Small in size, the MA program emphasizes a solid foundation in general literary studies that provides you with the broad knowledge of literary history. 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 creative writing or literature. Learn more at usd.edu/English.
