Full-time students are funded with a generous stipend and tuition scholarship, they teach in the first-year writing program, and they receive training in research and pedagogy. Our master’s degree provides a breadth of knowledge in literary study, and students benefit from a two-year curriculum with the flexibility to pursue a number of possible graduate certificates.
