Location of Saint Louis University - Madrid Campus
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.
Contents
This dual degree program seeks primarily to engage students in a disciplined study of texts drawn from the full experience of English and American literature. Giving due recognition to the history of the English literary tradition as it has unfolded from the Middle Ages to the present day, our program also alerts students to the exciting developments in the realm of literary theory and offers them opportunities for exploring the interpretation of English literature with the writings of other cultures and with issues raised in other fields.
Seminars meet in the afternoons and evenings for fifteen weeks (September-December, January-May) at Saint Louis University´s Madrid Campus. Students also take two seminars during a six-week summer session at Saint Louis University´s Frost Campus, in Saint Louis, Missouri. At the conclusion of their course work, students take a one-hour oral examination on a reading list which they have a hand in shaping.
