The Madrid Campus of Saint Louis University offers a Master’s degree in English, providing a unique opportunity to those who would like to pursue an American graduate degree in Spain. 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 further literary studies in English.
The Master’s seminars are taught by European and American Ph.D. faculty, providing a singular, 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.
Students also participate in an international community of writers and scholars present on campus each year. Qualified students may enroll in the MA in Spanish program concurrently. To enhance their international experience, MA in English students are invited to attend foreign language classes.
The program is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
