Master of Arts [M.A] [English Teaching] From Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne

At least eight of your courses (normally 24 credits) must be graduate-level courses administered by the Department of English and Linguistics. These must include: (1) a course in the English language or linguistics; (2) a course in rhetorical or composition theory, and; (3) a course in ethnic or minority literature. At least five more courses must be elected from among the graduate offerings of the Department of English and Linguistics. Up to 12 of the 36 required credits may be elected from courses approved by the director of graduate studies, but administered by a department other than English and Linguistics. For example, if you are working toward certification, you may be able to count some of your education courses as electives for the M.A.T.

You may elect to write a master?s thesis (3?-?6 credits). If you do not write a thesis, you must complete a 700-level seminar offered by the Department of English. Courses in Liberal Studies will not fulfill this requirement. The M.A.T. program does not require you to demonstrate foreign language proficiency or to sit for a comprehensive examination.
