The Master of Arts program in English at The Citadel and the College of Charleston offers a competitive English Education Enrichment award for qualified local in-service high school Language Arts teachers. During the fall semester of 2020, we welcomed our inaugural EEE cohort of 10 in-service teachers into the program out of 50 applications. We plan welcome our second EEE cohort in fall 2021, and applications will be available here in early 2021. Stay tuned for more detail!
The EEE program awards free tuition to in-service teachers who wish to enroll in our introductory course in Graduate English Studies. In ENGL 511, you will explore literary texts, scholarship, and criticism at the graduate level. Taking one classic American novel as an object of study, you will delve into, discuss, and practice dominant critical and theoretical approaches in the field, from psychoanalysis to postcolonial critique to deconstruction, and everything in between. You will also learn how to perform disciplinary research and to master contemporary methods of finding, synthesizing, and incorporating scholarship and criticism into your own writing. Through readings, discussions, and guest speakers, ENGL 511 will also introduce you to the ways in which graduate study in English can help set you up for advancement within your teaching career, as well as introduce you to various other occupations and careers.
Whether you ultimately want to complete an MA in English, or simply complete advanced coursework for professional development, ENGL 511 will provide an intellectually-stimulating opportunity to explore the experience of graduate study in English in the company of others who share your passion for literature and writing.
