About

The Accelerated Master's Program (AMP) in English allows high-achieving English majors to finish both the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree and a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in five years, although there is no requirement to finish in this period.

The English B.A./M.A. reduces the time and therefore the cost of the graduate degree, thereby providing job seekers with a competitive edge and increased earnings potential. This is an excellent option for students seeking advanced training in English at a nationally ranked Research 1 graduate program.

Graduates leave with critical and analytical skills, ready to pursue professional training outside the humanities—for example, law, medicine, and business. It also advances students toward the Ph.D. and adds substantially to the qualifications of Ph.D. applicants.
