An English Master of Science degree will prepare you to become a highly skilled teacher.<\/p>\n
The English M.S. program requires a deep study of the literature of a specific author, period, or place. These classes will allow students to discover a topic for a scholarly thesis. Unlike the M.A. program, there can be no addition of a creative thesis. Over the two years of this program, students work closely with an advisor to develop the thesis.<\/p>\n
To obtain an English M.S. students must take two graduate courses of Professional Education. Students in the program must have licensure to teach high school English. The M.S. degree requires a second language, a graduate course in computer application or statistics on teaching with technology.<\/p>\n
This 32-credit MS program in English is intended for certified teachers who wish to further develop their knowledge of literature and writing while at the same time enhancing their skills in teaching English. It is especially suitable for students who want to teach in secondary or middle schools and may also be useful to those who wish to teach in community colleges. It is open to students with an undergraduate major in English, a liberal arts background or a teacher education degree.<\/p>\n
