Program Description:
|
Two degrees are offered, an M.A. and a Ph.D. The M.A. program in English offers advanced studies in the area of Linguistics. The basic requirements for admission to the program are a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent, the approximate number of credits needed for an undergraduate major in the field, and an average of at least B (3.0). (These requirements remain flexible, and ''conditional'' admission is often possible even though the student does not have the equivalent of an undergraduate major in English.)
The English Department in the College of Humanities also offers a doctor of philosophy degree in English with the literature and language of the English-speaking Caribbean as its area of specialization. The program aims to prepare scholars, critics, and linguists who will contribute to the development of Caribbean studies as a field of academic knowledge inside the context of higher education.
