M.A. in English
Welcome to the New MA in English at the University of Houston!
Our Master’s program in English has been fully redesigned to meet two goals:
- to be relevant to the social, political, and enviromental challenges of the 21st century
- to accommodate professionals who work full- or part-time
New courses in Young Adult Latinx Literature, Literature & the Environment, and Rhetoric of Public Culture are being offered this year. Victorian Literature emphasizes the ongoing effects of empire, while American Literature explores the context of crisis.

Courses are offered during evening hours and as interactive, asynchronous online courses.

Our program requires just 30 credit hours (10 classes) to degree completion while remaining a rigorous and rewarding educational experience. (More details at the Program Breakdown & Degree Requirements link below.)
