Graduate Work. The Department of English offers graduate work in English
literature, American literature, and linguistics, leading to the Master of
Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees, and a graduate program in creative
writing leading to the M.A. or Master of Fine Arts degree. A Ph.D. program in
comparative literature, administered by a committee representing the Department
of English and the Department of Foreign Languages, offers opportunity for
advanced study of several literatures in their original languages (see page 145).
Except for candidates in creative writing, a thesis is not required in the M.A.
program. All M.A. candidates take a written examination on a selected list of
literary works.
The program leading to an M.F.A. in creative writing includes studies in
English and American literature, in aesthetics, and in the history and criticism of
art, music, and drama, and the production of a sustained piece of writing of high
literary merit.
For the Ph.D. degree, the department recommends an elementary knowledge
of Latin or Greek in addition to the required reading knowledge of two modern
languages.
