Students, parents, and the public ask us to teach students to think critically, to read with insight and to write well, and to become skilled in rapidly changing communication and information technologies. With a focus on both literature and writing, Elmhurst’s graduate program in English studies will prepare you to meet the high expectations placed on teachers in today’s classrooms. The program is designed specifically for teachers of English, though it also attracts professionals in library science, corporate communications, and related fields. You’ll deepen your knowledge of literary study. You’ll examine the literature of cultural diversity and conduct independent scholarly research. And you’ll prepare to teach students to think critically, to read with insight and to write well, and to become skilled in rapidly changing communication and information technologies. This is an eight-course, 32-hour program that respects the realities of the teacher’s life. Classes meet in the evenings, and you can complete the program in two years of part-time work. Graduate study has rarely been more personal, practical, and powerful.     Accreditation Information: The Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association accredits all graduate programs at Elmhurst College.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Undergraduate degree with a major or minor in English (or its equivalent), or a teaching endorsement in English.  Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements In addition to the standard application materials, students from outside the United States must also submit the following: - An official evaluation in English by a foreign credentials agency of all university transcripts (along with copies of the transcripts themselves). - Proof of English proficiency, as evidenced by a minimum range of 520-537 on the paper-based and a range of 190-203 on the computer-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).  Requirements Qualifying Exam: GMAT Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 266  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $733  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: United Church of Christ         Visit Program Website
