Introduction
The MA Program
Lehigh University's Department of English offers an M.A. with an emphasis on Literature and Social Justice. Full-time students are funded with a generous stipend and tuition scholarship, where they teach in the first-year writing program and receive training in research and pedagogy. Our master's degree provides a breadth of knowledge in a literary study where students can benefit from a two-year curriculum with the flexibility to pursue several possible graduate certificates.
Recent M.A. graduates have entered doctoral programs at Ohio State University, University of Texas Austin, Notre Dame, and the University of Georgia. Others have pursued careers in higher education, business, and nonprofits, including:
- Academic Advisor, Southern New Hampshire University,
- Associate, Group Gordon (public relations);
- Student Success Advisor, Guild Education;
- Assistant Director of the Writing Center, St. Joseph's University;
- Account Executive, Joele Frank (strategic financial communications); and
