Master of Arts [M.A] [English and Literary Arts - Literary Studies] From University of Denver

Through close reading of texts across centuries and cultures, students learn to analyze narratives and understand perspectives across a diverse spectrum of experiences. Students have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of courses, including interdisciplinary subjects such as cultural and gender studies. They may also enroll in small group tutorials that allow them to dive deep into a topic that interests them.

Many choose to use the MA degree as a springboard to apply for a PhD program in English. Critical thinking and writing skills help prepare them for further academic study or success in a variety of careers where clear communication and creative problem-solving are valued. Graduates may also find success in writing-focused careers, such as creative writing, copywriting, publishing, journalism, business communication or technical writing.
