The Master's degree in English cultivates scholarly and creative achievement through student literacy - specifically the abilities to read, write, and think critically, as well as an appreciation for the English language.
Graduates enter professions such as teaching, writing, editing, media production, law, public service, advocacy, or pursue graduate or professional studies. The program offers several concentrations.
With the support of the UTRGV English MA program, I've expanded my research interests, built a professional network of peers, and pursued my academic dreams. UTRGV is the right choice for those who want to achieve success backed by dedicated faculty.
