Department

The English Department maintains four degree-granting graduate programs:

  • Literature (MA and PhD)
  • Creative Writing (MFA)
  • Rhetoric, Composition, and the Teaching of English, known as RCTE (MA and PhD)
  • English Applied Linguistics, known as EAL (MA in TESL, with ties to the PhD in SLAT)

Each of these programs is separately administered and has a separate application procedure. In general (some programs may make exceptions or have a different deadline) applications are due in early January (for matriculation the following August). Teaching English as a Second Language degree offered by the University of Arizona admissions are highly selective.

The department therefore urges prospective applicants to confer, by early autumn at the latest, with the Director of the individual program in which they are interested.

Courses include:

  • Materials & Curriculum Development and Assessment
  • Second Language Acquisition Theory
  • Modern English grammar
  • Writing
  • Technology and Language Teaching
  • Preceptorship

“Choosing the Master’s program for Physiological Sciences at the University of Arizona was one of the best decisions I could have made in my education. Our department is warm and collaborative, offering an array of research topics and techniques underneath a vast and integrative umbrella of physiology. Beyond my research experience, I was presented with teaching opportunities, which I feel honed my skill of scientific communication. Having the dynamic research/teaching/class schedule not only kept me active but helped me reinforce material in multiple contexts. Overall, this program was exactly what I wanted in my segway into the medical sciences… and with my teaching assistantship paying for my tuition, how could I say no?”​
