Overview
The literature component offers the opportunity to engage the narrative traditions of the Americas, Great Britain and Ireland, within a cross-cultural dialogue. The language component offers the opportunity to engage discourse questions of story, power and peace, grounded in rhetorical grammar.
The Master of Arts in English Literature and Language at St. Mary’s University challenges students to engage the narrative and language dimensions of a variety of professional environments to meet their individual goals.
Online Learning
The English Literature and Language department has found that technology opens up the way we read and think about literature, writing and language. We worked hard in Spring 2020 to make our online experience work for our students and our subject matter. You will see some examples below of what this may look like for faculty and for students. The faculty are excited to continue to experiment with hybrid courses, in-person use of technology, and online courses. Our faculty are certified in online teaching pedagogy.
