Overview

The Rhetoric, Composition and Teaching of English program is housed in The University of Arizona's English Department as one of four graduate programs.

Key Features

The M.A. program is designed for students intending to teach in the public schools and community colleges. This is ordinarily a two-year course of study. Students who are working full-time as teachers in local schools may take longer, up to a Graduate College limit of six years.

Job Placement

The graduates have been hired at universities around the country, such as the University of Utah, Arizona State University, the University of South Carolina, the University of Hawaii, California State University, the University of California, Irvine, and many more.

Some of our graduates have accepted leadership positions in community colleges, such as Oakland Community College and Bay Mills Tribal Community College, and others select employment in the non-for profit, private, or government sectors, including national research labs, such as Sandia National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratories, and other think tanks.
