Overview

The English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics Track offered by the University of Colorado Denver invites MA candidates to build on this foundation by developing an expertise in teaching, and by expanding their content knowledge with courses in rhetoric, literature, film, and applied linguistics. These program requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their program advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.

Our program prepares students for teaching English at the middle-school, high school, and college levels. (An MA in English can sometimes lead to a pay increases for teachers.)
