Overview

Key facts

M.A. students in the English program at Lehigh University select their courses from a broad array of traditional historical literary periods and theoretical areas and others contribute to our Literature and Social Justice emphasis (although historical courses and L&SJ courses are not distinct from each other and most of our courses are both).

This distribution is to assure some balance in students' course work and to bolster their appeal as job candidates by providing the basis for teaching survey courses in more than one area as well as potentially developing a unique specialization in L&SJ. Students may substitute a thesis for one of their courses (3 credits).
