The Master of Arts with a major in English meets the needs of a variety of professional options. The M.A. sharpens the student's scholarship to the level of professional competence and leads to new levels of appreciation and pleasure in English studies. It qualifies secondary school teachers to earn Class A certification. It also enables graduates to become faculty members in private schools, junior colleges, community colleges, and certain four-year institutions.

In addition, it prepares students to move into programs leading to the Ph.D. Graduate courses are offered both as seminars and as lecture courses. They are focused both on specific topics (individual authors and genres) and broader subjects, such as the historical periods of literature. Classes are usually small, so that all students are given the benefit of personal counseling.
