基于学生在文学方面的本科准备方面的杰出记录，MA学生应努力掌握广泛的英语文学作品。此外，文学硕士学生应以修辞学和当代文学文学的理论方法进行研究。文学文学硕士课程为专家中学教学，商务，教育和艺术组织的沟通领导力以及文学博士学位课程的进入奠定了坚实的基础。
Building on a record of excellence in the student's undergraduate preparation in literature, the MA student should work toward a mastery of the broad and diverse range of literatures in English. Further, the MA student should undertake studies in rhetoric and contemporary theoretical approaches to literary texts. The MA in literature constitutes solid preparation for expert secondary teaching, leadership in communications for business, education and arts organizations, and entrance into a PhD program in literature.
