English Department Graduate Programs

The graduate programs of the English Department at Southern Connecticut State University are some of the largest, most flexible, widely respected programs in the state of Connecticut.  As the largest department in the School of Arts and Sciences, English serves as an extraordinary center of creativity, inquiry, and discovery with a proud tradition of leadership in scholarship and teaching.

With over 100 active students and nearly as many full- and part-time faculty members, lecturers, and graduate student instructors, the Department offers not only opportunities for study of a full range of approaches to the English language and its literature, but also a strong, diverse, and active community within the University.  We offer Master of ARTS (M.A.), Master of Science (M.S.), and Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Creative Writing degrees, as well as a teacher certification program that can be combined with the M.S. degree.  Our programs are diverse, and we feature concentrations in British Literature, American Literature, African-American literature, and Rhetoric & Composition Studies.  Our courses are designed to serve a variety of needs, such as preparing for the Ph.D., personal enrichment, and meeting state teacher certification requirements.
