Overview

All English master's coursework at the University of Cincinnati is seminar- or workshop- style, and all classes are supervised by our most active researchers and publishing writers. The curriculum is enhanced by the annual Ropes Lecture series, speakers from the Taft Center for the Humanities, and a superlative array of visiting creative writers.

Career Prospects

UC’s MA in literature degree is a generalist program with courses ranging from Early Modern to Contemporary American. The literary and cultural studies curriculum introduces students to the ways theory frames literary issues, and presents a range of theory-based and literature electives. The creative writing workshop environment is both rigorous and supportive, and students are encouraged to feel part of a community of writers. Our track in professional writing and editing emphasizes a theoretical foundation adaptable to many fields, and guides students to professional-level internships. Masters students have outstanding publication histories and go on to prestigious PhD programs, as well as careers in writing and editing.

Departmental financial aid is available in the form of scholarships and assistantships. Students that are awarded graduate assistantships teach one course per quarter. They receive extensive theory and practice-based training in teaching composition, and additional pedagogical training and opportunities are available. Applicants interested in consideration for departmental financial aid must submit complete applications by January 16.
