A thesis option is designed to help students generate important and publishable scholarship or creative writing.

The skills students learn in their program prepare them for a doctorate program as well as a career in a field of their choice, including: Author, Linguist, Critic, Literary Agent, Legal Researcher, Librarian, Reporter, Science Writer, Campaign Manager, Public Relations Manager, Social Media Manager, Teacher, Professor, Content Creator etc. The high number of faculty in proportion to students means that students will have unique access to distinguished professors to help guide them through their own work or, in some cases, partner with faculty on research and writing. Many of the MA students have assistantships that cover tuition costs and provide a stipend at levels tailored to each students needs, such as part-time – or even quarter-time.
