GRADUATE PROGRAMS
The Department of English offers courses leading to:
A person with a Master's in another discipline who wishes to acquire an MA in English or an MA in ESL must present at least 36 semester hours of graduate work applicable to the second Master's degree and must meet all special requirements for it. Within these 36 hours, a student may include a maximum of 6 hours that were applied to the first Master's (whether it was received from UT Pan American or elsewhere). The 36 semester hours (including any work counted on a previous Master's) must include at least 27 seven hours of English, must include 24 hours at this institution, and must be within the seven-year period.
Students may enroll in a graduate course in ESL (provided they have the prerequisites for that particular course) without any undergraduate work in English. Likewise, the MFA courses require no undergraduate prerequisites, but enrollment in the workshops is limited to MFA candidates. For all other graduate courses in English, a student must have at least 6 semester hours of advanced undergraduate English.
In addition, students seeking any graduate degree in English must have a GPA of at least 3.0 in the graduate hours taken in the English Department of UT Pan American.
