MA in English
Introduction
Saint Louis University and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid offer the first Master’s degree in English recognized by both a Spanish and an American university. Students completing the two-year program (70 credit hours in the Spanish system, 30 in the American) will earn a Master of Arts in English from Saint Louis University and a Máster en Estudios Culturales y Literarios Anglo-norteamericanos from the Universidad Autónoma. The program is designed for holders of a B.A./Licenciatura in English or a related field, high school teachers, literary scholars and translators, and others who want to explore the masterpieces of literature in English.
The Master’s seminars are taught by European and American Ph.D. faculty from both institutions, providing a unique, international perspective on British, North American, and Anglophone literature. The individualized course of study allows students to select ten graduate seminars from such areas as the traditional periods and genres of literature in English, literary theory, linguistics, the teaching of writing, and translation. Since enrollment is limited to twenty, students receive specialized attention in their study and research. They also participate in an international community of writers and scholars who are invited to campus each year.
The program is accredited by the North Central Association (NCA). Credits earned are also recognized as Formación Permanente del Profesorado (8º Apdo. de la Resolución de 27 de abril de 1997, B.O.E. de 25 de mayo).
