Master of Arts [M.A] [English] From Oakland University

The basic curriculum emphasizes major critical approaches rather than specialization within historical periods. Opportunity is offered for scholarly and pedagogical application of such approaches to literature and language. The program serves the needs of those whose eventual goal is the Ph.D. degree; those who teach in secondary schools and those who are preparing to teach in junior and community colleges; and those seeking an opportunity to enhance their analytical skills as they study literature from multiple perspectives.
