Overview of MA Plan 1

The MA Plan 1 is designed with a special emphasis on literary and cultural studies. The program offers 3-4 courses in the Fall and Spring semesters..

For an interdisciplinary emphasis, students can also choose courses from other programs within the department or from various other departments including but not limited to Philosophy, Romance languages, GREAL, Ethnic studies, American Culture Studies, Communications, History, etc. Including Thesis hours, the program offerings and requirements will result in an MA with 33 hours.

Any two-year cycle of these courses would be organized to provide students with an overarching sense of cultural studies and literary theory, as well as an MA level familiarity with historical contexts and periods. The sample plan below is for rotation of courses. All courses are three credits.
