English MA

Sharpen your analytical skills, develop an advanced writing style, and improve your close-reading ability. Our master's program prepares students for high-level careers in teaching, law, business, publishing, writing, and administration. Teachers with master's degrees often earn higher salaries than those with only bachelor's degrees. In Massachusetts, earning an MA is one of the requirements for moving from an initial license to a professional license. The MA also serves as excellent preparation for a PhD program.
