Graduate Programs

 

• Master’s Program—The graduate English program has been designed to prepare students for careers in the analysis and production of texts. The program covers issues and skills in reading and writing, in the richest sense of these words-in order to prepare students to address these issues and to teach these skills. Graduates of the program should be prepared for such careers as teaching writing and literature; teaching English as a second language; and writing for business, government, and other professions. In contrast to traditional M.A. programs, which place heavy emphasis on literary history, the IUPUI program focuses on the application of English studies to contemporary situations and problems.  For more information, follow the link above, view the brochure, or contact Pat King:  O - CA 502L | P - 317-274-2258 | E - patmking@iupui.edu.

 

• Certificate Programs

   

  • Professional Editing— The Professional Editing Certificate provides opportunities for students to study the techniques and consequences of traditional editing procedures,to learn how corrupted texts of the past can be recovered and disseminated for readers today, and to explore how these procedures are evolving in response to the rapidly changing technical communications environment of the information age.
  • Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages—TESOL is an exciting, in-demand, and interdisciplinary field that draws on linguistics, bilingual education, sociology, pedagogy, cultural studies, and information technology in order to prepare teachers to meet the needs of English learners in an increasingly globalized world. TESOL graduates typically find employment both domestically and internationally as teachers, administrators, policy makers, materials developers, editors, cultural liaisons, and language program directors. They work in such diverse settings as schools, non-profit organizations, governmental agencies, community and faith-based centers, and international businesses. View the brochure or follow the link above for more information.
  • Teaching Writing—The Graduate Certificate in Teaching Writing is a 20-hour program of study for certified middle school or high school teachers, part-time university writing faculty and lecturers in other disciplines, and M.A. students interested in earning a certificate in writing to enhance their professional teaching careers.  Major topics include theories and methods of teaching writing; understanding linguistic diversity; uses of technology in writing; social aspects of writing development; non-fiction writing; writing assessment; and teacher research.  Summer institutes for teachers offered by the Hoosier Writing Project can be taken for graduate credit that applies to this certificate program.  View the brochure or follow the above link for more information.
