2623 GRADUATE DEGREES3 COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES MATH-M 565 MATH-M 562 MATH-M 571 MATH-M 572 MATH-M 575 MATH-M 576 MATH-M 574 MATH-M 577 MATH-M 590 Analysis of Variance Statistical Design of Experiments Analysis of Numerical Methods I Analysis of Numerical Methods II Simulation Modeling Forecasting Applied Regression Analysis Operations Research: Modeling Approach Seminar No more than two 400-level courses may be selected. Students are encouraged to take courses bridging the two disciplines (e.g. MATH-M 562 Statistical Design of Experiments and CSCI-B 581 Advanced Computer Graphics). Both full- and part-time study is possible. Students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. Failure to maintain a 3.0 GPA for two consecutive semesters, or accumulating any two grades of D or below, may result in dismissal from the program. The program must be completed within seven years. Only courses taken within seven years of completion of the first course in the program may count toward this degree. THESIS OPTION Students who choose the thesis option must complete 24 credit hours of course work and 9 credit hours of thesis. In preparation for the thesis, a student should identify to the program’s graduate director an advisor and a committee. The advisor is a faculty member from either the Department of Computer and Information Sciences or the Department of Mathematical Sciences. The committee is comprised of two faculty members from the student’s area of specialization, with one of them being the advisor. A third member is required and can be a faculty member from within or outside of either department. The third member may also be an approved individual from business or industry. Additional members may be included in the committee with approval of the graduate director. The student must submit a thesis proposal to the committee for approval. Upon completion of the thesis, a written document is prepared and an oral defense is scheduled. The document is to be reported in a thesis format. After a successful defense, the final version will be archived in the department and in the IU South Bend library. There is no comprehensive exam. Rather, a student finishes the program with the thesis option by successfully defending the thesis, making corrections to the document, and submitting the final version for archiving. TRANSFER CREDIT HOURS Students wishing to transfer course work from another graduate program should keep the following information in mind: • Transfer credit hours must be approved by the program graduate director or persons designated by the Graduate Committee. • Students are responsible for supplying course documentation, such as an official course description, a course syllabus, etc. to be used by the graduate director to assess transfer course applicability to this program. • A student may transfer at most 6 credit hours of the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science degree program course work from an accredited institution. • The course must appear on an official transcript sent to IU South Bend. • Only courses taken within seven years may be counted toward this degree. Courses transferred must be seven years old or less at the time of completion of the IU South Bend program. Exceptions are at the discretion of the graduate director. MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH Wiekamp Hall 3161 (574) 520-4305 www.iusb.edu/~sbeng/ma Program Director: Gindele PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Master of Arts (M.A.) in English is a 36 credit hour program. The M.A. in English offers broadly based expertise in English studies, including the production, analysis, and teaching of literary texts, and the study of composition/ rhetoric. Full-time students may complete the program in two years. Adjusted courses of study are available to part-time students. This advanced degree program offers a life-enriching continuation of intellectual study. It fosters the further development of skills valued by current employers, including writing and analytical skills, and specialized knowledge in areas such as textual analysis, computerassisted writing, literacy studies, pedagogy, research, and editing. The degree leads to employment opportunities teaching English in the schools or community colleges, working in the service and information industries, the news media, advertising, public relations, and in other corporations requiring writing specialists. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Students are admitted to the English graduate program by the Graduate Selection Committee. Applicants for the program must have a bachelor’s degree in English, or a closely related field, from an accredited institution and an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0. In addition, candidates may be asked to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). A candidate who does not meet the GPA requirement may apply for special student status.

APPLICATION DEADLINE Applications are reviewed as received. DEGREE REQUIREMENTS MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH The M.A. offers a flexible program of study and provides broad expertise in English studies including literary analysis, composition, and creative writing. Students may select up to five elective courses, which allows for opportunities to shape their course of study. The M.A. degree offers a life-enriching continuation of intellectual study. To complete this degree, students must meet the course requirements listed below. COURSE REQUIREMENTS (36 CR.) (All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated.) ENG-G 660 Stylistics (3-4 cr.) ENG-L 501 Professional Scholarship in Literature (4 cr.) ENG-L 502 Contexts for Study of Writing (4 cr.) ENG-W 609 Directed Writing Project (1-4 cr.) Electives (20 cr.) Five elective courses Note: A student who wishes to complete a creative writing-based independent writing project must take a total of three writing workshops in at least two genres. Any one of those courses may be taken twice for graduate credit. WORLD LANGUAGES REQUIREMENT Students must have completed two college semesters of a single world language by the time the M.A. degree is conferred. Candidates who have completed these two courses as part of other graduate or undergraduate programs need not take additional courses as part of the M.A. degree program. Candidates who have gained world language skills outside of the classroom may take a world languages placement examination to demonstrate their achievement of language skills equivalent to those achieved from two semesters of formal study. TRANSFER CREDIT HOURS Applicants may be allowed to transfer up to two graduate courses or 8 credit hours from another graduate institution (or from previous graduate work at IU South Bend) if those courses demonstrably contribute to the work required for the Master of Arts in English. Unless transfer courses are clearly equivalent to the required core courses for the Master of Arts, those courses are counted as electives. Candidates must include in the application a request to transfer courses, a brief description of each course identifying how it contributes to the Master of Arts in English, and supporting documentation such as syllabi, assignments, papers, or other relevant material. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Students must confer with their academic advisors on a regular basis to determine an effective course of study. An average grade of B (3.0) is required for graduation, and no course with a grade lower than B– (2.7) is counted toward the degree. Students are required to maintain good academic standing, i.e., to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Failure to maintain good standing may result in dismissal from the program.
