Overview
We offer three programs of Graduate study in the Department of English: an English MA in Literature, Language, and Theory; an English MA in Adolescent Education; and an MFA in Creative Writing. Students who pursue an English MA or MFA degree at Hunter come from diverse backgrounds and bring to the department a variety of strengths, experiences, and interests. Our MA and MFA curricula reflect and develop the intellectual and practical goals of our students and tap into faculty areas of expertise and the resources provided by the culturally stimulating metropolis at our doorstep.
Department faculty members specialize in a broad spectrum of literatures, theories and critical practices, as well as in creative writing, rhetoric, pedagogy, and linguistics. They are accessible both in and out of the classroom, supporting students as they become more sophisticated readers, researchers, and writers. Those who enroll receive guidance in improving their own expertise as not just scholars and masters of their craft but also as teachers of literature and writing. While our MA and MFA programs are enriching and often professionally rewarding as terminal degrees, they also prepare students for further graduate study.
