master of arts in English

The Master of Arts (MA) degree in English at the University of South Dakota covers the major periods and concepts in American and British literature. Master's students design their own program of study which culminates in a substantial scholarly or creative project. At the heart of the MA program are the graduate seminars: small, intensive courses which explore a wide range of subjects, from the medieval legend of King Arthur to contemporary Native American poetry, from Romantic-period women writers to twentieth-century Irish literature, from literary theory to fiction writing.
