A Master’s degree in English from Seton Hall provides the basis for a wide
range of career and professional choices: preparation for pursuing a doctoral
degree in literature, for professional degrees in law or business, as well as
for careers in secondary education, publishing, and professional writing. The
diversity of our students’ goals and interests is accommodated through our Hub
and Spoke Program, which allows students, after completing a “hub” of 12 credits
of required courses, to pursue one of two “spokes,” 18 credits in Literature and
Criticism or 18 credits in Writing and Pedagogy. Students may consult the
Director of Graduate Study, Dr. Angela Weisl, for details and guidance in
selecting the program and courses best suited to their needs.
