Program Objectives
MA in English
Responding to the changing conceptions of what constitutes English Studies, Southeast's Department of English offers considerable latitude in the shaping of their MA degree plan. Students tailor their studies to reflect specific interests in literature, creative writing, rhetoric, theory, and pedagogy. Students can also focus their studies on preparation for graduate work at the doctoral level in English or other professional fields, on enhancing their prospects for teaching at the secondary or post secondary level, or on preparing for a variety of non-teaching occupations.
Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
The TESOL degree is designed to train professionals to teach people who are learning to speak English as another language. Graduates work with children in pre-school through high school, in adult education programs with refugees and immigrants, or in college and university programs. The workplace may be within the United States or overseas. The program emphasizes the practical application of theory to the classroom. Students design a program of language instruction for their own particular setting and learn to revise, adapt and assess the program as they progress in their studies.

Please leave ample time for this process. If a reader requires you to make changes in your paper, you must meet the School of Graduate Studies and Research deadline or forfeit taking comprehensive exams that semester. The best way to handle the non-thesis is to choose a paper from your course work. When you receive a paper that has been praised by one of your professors, go to that professor as soon as possible to see if the professor will support the paper as a non-thesis. Ask what changes need to be made, make the changes, and resubmit the paper to the professor. The paper will then be given to a second reader. You will be notified regarding the results. See Graduate Bulletin and the English Graduate Guide for more details, and see the current semester bulletin for deadlines.
