Program Description The Department of English at Washington State University offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of master of arts (M.A.) and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.). Providing opportunities for diverse course work and extensive pedagogical training, these programs emphasize interpretive and critical thinking, breadth of disciplinary preparation, grounding in current theory and methodology, and respect for the value of multiple perspectives. Students may elect to concentrate either on literary study (British, American, and postcolonial Anglophone literatures) or on rhetoric and composition. The English Department also participates in the University’s interdisciplinary American studies program, which offers opportunities for M.A. and Ph.D. students to take specialized seminars in American studies. Our students have opportunities for teaching and research assistantships, can assist the faculty in the editing of academic journals, and may receive funding for travel to conferences and archives.
