Masters

In this program graduates have enjoyed a high placement rate in teaching positions, in doctoral programs, and in the professional world as technical writers and editors. The degree consists of two options: Option I: This degree option, made in consultation with the advisor, requires 11 courses and either a comprehensive examination or a portfolio, the contents of which are to be determined by the student, also in consultation with the advisor; Option II: This degree option, made in consultation with the advisor, requires 10 courses and a thesis. The typical program is approximately 33 semester hours. The sequence in Professional Writing and Rhetorics prepares students to bring English Studies to professional and civic contexts where language and texts are involved in social and organizational change. The complexity of such literacies requires technical competencies in writing, editing, and designing texts. In the program, these competencies are rhetorically informed, guided by an understanding of the ethical, legal, economic, and political consequences of professional practices in the workplace, in the public forum, and in private lives.
