Overview

The English Program at Texas A&M San Antonio offers graduate seminars in American Literature, British literature, multiethnic literatures, composition and rhetoric, critical theory, gender studies, and visual studies.

Our seminars are small and discussion-oriented, and students work closely with professors. Students also have opportunities to participate in professional conferences, student performances, and writing workshops.

The English M.A. faculty are dedicated teachers who have won multiple awards for their classroom instruction.

They are also scholars who have authored and edited books, written articles, critical reviews, presented at national and international conferences, and won competitive research fellowships.

Their work has been published in prestigious academic journals—such as Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies, College English, ESQ: A Journal of Nineteenth-Century American Literature and Culture, Journal of Modern Literature, Kairos, and Studies in English Literature—and in critical anthologies.

Educational Opportunity

Because faculty are active in their fields, they are prepared to offer an assortment of innovative seminars (examples include Literature and Photography, The Cosmopolitan Novel, and Violence in the Teaching of Writing) and to introduce students to current developments in the fields of literary studies, critical theory, critical race studies, and composition and rhetoric.

Upon completion of the program, students will be prepared to continue their graduate studies in English or related disciplines, such as education and law.

They will have acquired intellectual and professional skills that will be applicable in a variety of careers including, teaching, public relations, technical writing, editing, and nonprofit work.

Our graduates have been admitted to selective M.F.A and Ph.D. programs at institutions such The New School in New York City, the University of Arkansas, the University of New Hampshire, Texas Tech, and University of Texas at San Antonio. Others have gone on to careers in writing, marketing, student services, and teaching at the secondary and post-secondary levels.
