Overview

With its firm grounding in theory, research, and pedagogy, the M.A. in English and Writing Studies at California State University San Bernardino prepares students to excel both as professional writers and teachers of writing, literature, and English as a second language.

The mission of the graduate program is to engage students in an exploration of how written and spoken texts work rhetorically and stylistically, as well as how historical, cultural, and social conditions affect the ways in which speakers, writers, and readers construct meaning. In addition, the program provides students with a strong foundation for a Ph.D. degree.

Careers

The M.A. enables students, whatever their career path, to become socially committed, rhetorically flexible scholars, teachers and writers, well-prepared to make significant contributions in their chosen fields and communities, both local and global.
