Application information

Entry requirements

Candidates for graduate work in English should present an undergraduate major in English or a minimum of 18 credit hours of English (or its equivalent) beyond the first-year level. In some cases, students will be required to make up deficiencies in their preparation without receiving graduate credit. Candidates must also submit a writing sample, consisting of at least 15 pages of academic writing. A maximum of 6 credit hours of transfer credit will be accepted from another institution and applied toward the MA, provided they were earned in graduate-level courses, with the approval of the department and the Dean of Graduate Studies.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
