Overview

Lasting a single academic year, our immersive, intensive course of study prepares students to launch confidently and efficiently into the next stage of their careers—whether in teaching, writing, editing, media production, university administration, arts management, public relations, marketing, the non-profit world, or further academic pursuits.

In addition to the traditional English MA, the department also offers—in cooperation with the George Eastman Museum’s L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation—a special English MA with a concentration in film and media studies. The first museum-based university collaboration of its kind, the program joins humanistic study with hands-on training in curatorial and conservation work.
