The English Department at the University of Virginia now offers the option of a five-year BA/MA degree to suitably qualified English majors.

In the following year, they will continue at the University as MA students, formally taking the ENGL 8800 Introduction as well as six additional graduate courses, making sure to fulfill the distribution requirements for the degree.
