Combined Bachelor's/Masters in English
Undergraduate students may apply for a Combined Bachelor's / Master's degree. Undergraduate students, who are in the B. A. in English program, apply early to the M.A. in Literature & Writing program. Upon being accepted into the MA in Lit/Writing students may double count 9 credit hours of graduate credit toward both degree programs, the undergraduate B.A. in English and the graduate M.A. in Lit/Writing. This policy takes effect for the B. A. in English and MA Lit & Writing program at the opening of the Fall 2020 academic calendar year. For an overview of the university policy and procedures, see Combined Bachelor's/Master's Degree Program in the University Catalog.
The graduate courses (60000 level) listed below, in Literature and in Rhetoric and Composition (LRSP), all apply for the M.A. in Literature & Writing degree, and the undergraduate courses (30000 level) are all required courses in the B.A. in English.
