The Master of Arts in English encompasses a diverse curriculum reflecting the program's interdisciplinary approach to exploring literature. Rigorous in nature, the program encourages a strong ethical approach to achieving academic excellence in the classroom and beyond.

The primary focus of the M.A. in English is the study of literature and language. Students pursue one of four concentrations in Creative Writing, Digital Literary Studies, English Pedagogy, or Literature. Coursework taken outside a student's concentration will generally not count toward the Master of Arts in English. Competency requirements, if a condition of a student's admission, may be met with equivalent coursework; they do not count toward the Master of Arts in English. Whether students are looking to advance their knowledge or their career, they'll find CBU's M.A. in English an intellectually stimulating program designed to help them reach their goals.
