Overview
At least half the work presented for the degree must be 600-level courses. Students wishing to elect this option must apply for the approval of the English Graduate Committee after they have completed nine hours in the program; they may not register for ENGL 695 until that approval is granted.
Immediately upon entering the graduate program, the student should develop, with the assigned advisor, an individual course of study that meets the requirements for the degree and the student’s objectives. To be eligible for graduation, a student must fulfill all course requirements, perform satisfactorily on a final comprehensive examination, and successfully defend the Master's Thesis.
