Master of Science
Literature stands the test of time. Seminal works created centuries ago have morphed and shifted, their meaning and themes altered to new audiences, but they have carried on with power and influence. Why have certain texts emerged to popular reception, whether positive or negative? Why have certain texts evolved over time? What themes continue to be explored across cultures and periods? How will we cement our place in the future through our development and study of literature? These are just some of the guiding questions in Southern New Hampshire University's MA English degree. With a multitude of courses in American, British, Global, and Ethnic literature, among others, students can tailor the program to fit their specialized interests. Through critical analysis and professional writing, students investigate texts and topics with the goal of adding to the current body of critical work. Upon completion of the MA English degree, students might pursue a doctoral degree in literature, teach at the community college or secondary levels, earn a professional degree in law or business, or work in publishing or public relations.
