A leading online literary program, Mercy's is one of the first master's in English literature to be offered fully online. Will you pen the next great American novel? Or write a critically-acclaimed study of Danticat, Dante, or Hemingway? Or become a dedicated professor who inspires the next generation of college students? Mercy College’s Master of Arts (M.A.) in English Literature program provides a strong foundation for students interested in these and other pursuits.
Some of our M.A. graduates have gone on to Ph.D. programs, have continued into college teaching positions, or have gone on to earn advanced creative writing degrees. Numerous English teachers have earned the M.A. or graduate content credits through our program for purposes of (re)licensing, promotion, or simply to increase knowledge of their field.
Some of our M.A. students simply love literature, and join our program to study and experience with others the tremendous power, mystery, and meaning that moves through and emerges from literature. Our program includes students of all ages located throughout the U.S. and across the globe.
