Overview

During their time at the University, students in the English program of University of Rochester benefit from all of the same resources and opportunities as the department’s first-year PhD students, enrolling in the same courses, working with the same faculty, and participating in the same events.

Key facts

The program offers students the scholarly resources and intellectual energy of a major research institution in an environment that permits close personal attention and open exchange. Students in the department interact with a faculty of active scholars and teachers whose publications and professional engagements continue to garner national and international recognition.

Like the PhD program, the MA program offers students a highly individualized experience. At the end of the program, MA candidates complete a capstone project of their own design and choosing: an MA essay (either scholarly or creative) or a comprehensive MA exam.
