Welcome to Graduate Studies in English!

In the words of John Donne, “God is a declaratory God.”  Since communication is not only central to the human experience, but also a central quality of the Creator, we believe that the effective composing, transmission and interpretation of words has broad implications.  The ACU English faculty conducts the study of English with an acknowledgment that human language echoes the divine activity of the Logos—the Word that is the beginning of all things.

Graduate students in English can expect to:
     • rigorously address current rhetorical and literary theory, in an atmosphere that is 
        hospitable to people of faith;
     • interact with professors eager to mentor students in critical methodology, research, 
        professional writing, publication, tutoring, and teaching;
     • participate in a unique spiritual and intellectual community with graduate students
        from across campus;
     • graduate prepared to enter doctoral programs or pursue careers in teaching and
        writing.

 

The Department of English at ACU offers a 36-hour Master of Arts degree with emphases in Literature, Composition and Rhetoric, and Writing.
