Welcome!
From Linda Trinh Moser, Director of Graduate Studies
Welcome to the graduate program in English at Missouri State University. We offer two Master of Arts degrees: the MA in English and in Writing, and help administer the Master of Science in Education with an emphasis in English. In addition, our department oversees two graduate certificate programs in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and in Ozark Studies. Creative Writing, Literature, and TESOL are emphases or “tracks” within the MA in English program. The MA in Writing program offers tracks in Professional/Technical Writing and Rhetoric and Composition. Our programs serve students anticipating doctoral studies, those interested in careers in teaching at secondary schools or community colleges, professional writers, and those studying creative or expository writing. Students accepted into our programs are eligible to apply for assistantships in exchange for teaching courses in college composition. Advanced students are eligible to teach other subjects including creative writing, developmental writing, and literature; they may also assist faculty with research, editing, and/or writing projects. Graduate Assistantships come with fee waivers providing a full tuition and fee waiver and stipend.
