PAWLP COURSES APPLICABLE TO M.A. IN ENGLISH
Writing, Teaching, and Criticism |
Did you know that the Institutes and many of PAWLP’s courses apply to the innovative Master of Arts degree in Writing, Teaching and Criticism?
Developed with Language Arts and Secondary English teachers in mind, this flexible, year-round, professionally oriented program allows students to explore three areas of study in English - rhetoric and composition, pedagogy, and literary studies. The 36-semester hour program brings together theory and classroom practices in writing and rhetoric, secondary English teaching, and the interpretation of literature and other cultural discourses. The program welcomes students with an interest in exploring the way language, teaching and literature intersect.
The program:
- Places special emphasis on teaching applications
- Offers specialized study in issues of cultural and classroom diversity
- Strengthens critical reading, writing, and research skills
- Enhances knowledge of literature and culture
- Focuses on how writing, literary studies, and teaching intersect
Up to four PAWLP courses taught by teacher-consultants and three additional courses taught by Director Andrea Fishman or Associate Director Mary Buckelew may apply to the twelve-course requirement of the degree.
[Note: No PWP 599 courses apply toward this degree.]
