Because our department also offers an MFA in Creative Writing, students in the Master’s degree program also have the opportunity to study with distinguished creative writers. In seminars and other courses with unique-often interdisciplinary-topics, students develop intellectual confidence and strengthen their skills in critical reading and analytical writing. Students may choose among four tracks including the generalist, interdisciplinary, teaching, and pre-doctoral tracks. Our small program (approximately thirty students) promotes a true community of faculty and students, with frequent opportunities for students to work closely with individual professors both inside and outside of classes. Through their course of study and related opportunities, students leave the Master of Arts in Literature prepared for a wide range of professional paths, including doctoral study and careers in education. Full-time students normally complete the degree over two years, taking three courses per semester. Part-time students often take one or two courses per semester.     Accreditation Information: American University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association, an institutional accrediting agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education & the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.  # Of Credits Required: 36  Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.  Pre-Requisite Courses Please see American University's College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Admission’s website for admission requirements.  International Student Requirements Please see American University's College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Admission’s website for admission requirements.  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.0 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements Please see American University's College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Admission’s website for admission requirements.    Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition: 0  Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 1631  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 2109  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $1178  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $18864  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: United Methodist
