The Accelerated MA in English allows students to complete their undergraduate and Master’s degrees within five years.
Students complete fifteen hours of graduate credit during the final undergraduate year and eighteen hours of graduate credit during the graduate year. Nine hours of 500-level courses will be shared between the two degrees. Students may enroll in six hours of 600-level courses in the final undergraduate year that will count only towards completion of the MA.
Students will apply during the junior year and must be on track to complete their undergraduate degree in four years. Applicants need to have completed at least sixty credit hours and hold a 3.0 minimum GPA.
In their senior year, students will have provisional graduate admission until the Bachelor’s degree is awarded with a final cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or above.
Note: Accelerated MA program will follow same program requirements as the existing MA program, except students will not be able to select a thesis option for their culminating experience. Accelerated MA students will choose either ENG 692 or ENG 698 for their culminating experience, depending on their concentration.
