Program Description
The Department of English at Washington State
University offers graduate programs leading to
the degrees of master of arts (M.A.) and doctor
of philosophy (Ph.D.). Providing opportunities
for diverse course work and extensive pedagogical
training, these programs emphasize interpretive
and critical thinking, breadth of disciplinary
preparation, grounding in current theory and
methodology, and respect for the value of
multiple perspectives. Students may elect to
concentrate either on literary study (British,
American, and postcolonial Anglophone
literatures) or on rhetoric and composition. The
English Department also participates in the
University’s interdisciplinary American
studies program, which offers opportunities for
M.A. and Ph.D. students to take specialized
seminars in American studies. Our students have
opportunities for teaching and research
assistantships, can assist the faculty in the
editing of academic journals, and may receive
funding for travel to conferences and archives.
