Master of Arts
The Master of Arts degree in English is designed to meet the needs of elementary and secondary teachers seeking permanent certification, people interested in post-secondary teaching or writing, and those contemplating further study of English literature and language at Ph.D. granting institutions.
Why Oswego?
SUNY Oswego's English MA program offers a culminating track option of either an internship placement, an independent study project, or a Master's thesis.
Three tracks of study
1) Two three-hour teaching internships, each in a different undergraduate English course; each requiring a researched written commentary on the work of the semester.
2) Six hours combining course work and independent study, chosen under advisement to strengthen the student’s knowledge of literature and language, followed by a culminating examination.
3) MA Thesis
