Due to budgetary constraints and funding changes, the English department has decided not to accept MA applications for the 2024-2025 academic year. Over this time, we will be reconceptualizing the MA program to adapt appropriately to the new funding models and we expect to resume accepting students for the 2025-2026 year.
The department is sorry for any difficulties that this decision may cause prospective applicants.
