ETMS - Human Performance
Technology Specialization
Organizations have recognized that the key to their success
lies in their ability to set a mission and implement it in the
most cost-effective means available. If a unit within the
organization is not operating at the level required to complete
the mission, a strategy for meeting the performance needs
must be identified. Human Performance Consultants are
increasingly called upon to analyze and recommend solutions
to performance problems. They recommend a wide range
of solutions including training, changing employee incentive
systems, redesigning the work environment, or implementing
new technology, for example. Human Performance Technology
(HPT) is implemented in many types of organizations, including
commercial enterprises, governmental agencies, and the
military. In the HPT specialization, students develop proficiency
in resolving performance problems in military, business and
industry, and educational systems.

English
The Master of Arts in English program at UWF is home to a
vibrant community of scholars and creative writers who are
passionate about the study of literature, discourse, and print
culture. The degree offers an opportunity to work closely with
faculty mentors and to pursue individual research interests.
Small class sizes (strictly limited to 20 students) are the norm.
Graduates of the M.A. program in English are highly successful
writers, speakers, presenters, leaders and educators who
possess excellent analytical and communication skills. The M.A.
in English can help advance the career goals of students who
are interested in:
• developing critical thinking and writing skills to enhance any
profession
• publishing
• editing
• creative writing
• not-for-profit administration
• establishing teaching credentials for private and public
education
• pursuing the Ph.D. in English
• training, technical writing
• journalism
Some students may also wish to pursue the degree for purely
philosophical reasons. The study of literature provides exposure
to the world of ideas and the aesthetics of the written and printed
word. Courses in the program cover both canonical and noncanonical
works of fiction and nonfiction. Courses also provide
broad exposure to texts from a wide range of historical periods
and cultures. Students interested in the program are welcome to
visit the department and meet with faculty to discuss individual
research interests and career goals.
