Overview
About the Program
The degree will be of value to those seeking to extend their knowledge and develop their professional expertise; those seeking preparation to enter the teaching profession (including at the community college level); and to those seeking training in critical thinking and communication skills, whether for application in professions other than teaching, as preparation for further graduate studies in the field, or simply out of intellectual curiosity.
The curriculum of the English program of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) reflects UC Irvine's strengths in literary history and criticism, composition and rhetoric, and literary journalism. Master of English students work closely with the same faculty who teach in our nationally ranked English Ph.D. program, take seminars dedicated exclusively to them, and receive the same MA degree as the department's full-time graduate students, with the exception that foreign language proficiency is not required for the terminal degree.
We assume that many students in the program will have full-time employment, and the program is thus optimally designed for part-time enrollment. Approximately 20 students are admitted each year. The limited enrollment is intended to ensure small classes and accessible faculty - the essential conditions for intensive literary study.
