Master of Arts in EnglishInformation for Graduate Students in Literature and Rhetoric/CompositionOur M.A. in English programs offer you two main options for pursuing your Master’s degree. You may apply for the M.A. English: Literature option, which focuses on literary texts, history and culture, or you can apply for the M.A. English: Literature, with a Rhetoric and Composition Emphasis, which focuses on composition and writing studies. Students are permitted to switch options during the course of their time in the program, should they desire to do so. Admission Requirements for M.A. Literature or M.A. Literature: Rhetoric/Composition ProgramsAll applicants to the M.A. in English must follow the application and admission procedures outlined in the university graduate application booklet. To be admitted to the program, the applicant must have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university or college and a grade point average of 3.0 or better in the last 60 semester units of upper division course work attempted (not including extension units). Applicants with majors other than English may be accepted into the program, but should expect to do additional work to gain the background necessary for success in their graduate courses. - see more at: https://www.csudh.edu/english/graduate-programs/ma-english-literature-option/ |
