Overview

The MA program involves coursework at the graduate level in British and American literature or in language studies; a written or oral comprehensive examination; and an optional thesis. Work toward this degree is designed to supplement and complete the student’s undergraduate study in English and to familiarize the student with professional standards, methods of research, and modes of thought in the discipline. Possession of this degree normally leads to advancement in the teaching profession for the secondary school or community teacher; to careers in writing, publishing, and editing; or to further study in English at the doctoral level. Learning Outcomes: Students will achieve a thorough knowledge of British and American literature. Within the language and composition theory emphasis, students will focus equally on language and composition theory and grammar. Students will study research methods, pedagogical approaches, and modes of critical thought in the discipline. Students will demonstrate competence in the reading of one foreign or computer language. Available Options: Literature Emphasis Track - Thesis Literature Emphasis Track - Non-Thesis Language/Composition Theory Track - Thesis Language/Composition Theory Track - Non-Thesis Advanced Track - Thesis Advanced Track - Non-Thesis Accomplished UNLV undergraduates may apply for the Advanced Program subplan after completion of 75 credits. Students must meet all of the following criteria to be considered for admission to the Advanced Program subplan: Minimum of 3.5 GPA in English courses; Department chair or graduate coordinator's recommendation; and Submission — to the department graduate coordinator — of two letters of recommendation from UNLV faculty, an unofficial transcript, a brief (1-2 page) statement of purpose, and a 10-15 page writing sample (usually an essay or essays written for an upper-division English course or courses). To ensure timely consideration, applicants should submit these materials before registration opens for the semester in which they wish to register for graduate courses.
