Graduate Studies
Graduate study in English at the University of Oregon encompasses traditional literary history and textual study, as well as critical theory, ethnic literatures, gender studies, cultural studies, rhetoric, postcolonial studies, ecocriticism, folklore, film, and popular culture. Students in the M.A. Program may pursue a traditional master of arts degree in literary studies or a Master's in English with an Emphasis in Film Studies. At the Ph.D. level, students may tailor their coursework and independent research by enrolling in one of several "Structured Emphases," which reflect the Department's national prominence in the areas of Ethnic American Literary Studies, Film and Media Studies, Folklore, Literature and the Environment, Medieval Studies, Poetry and Poetics, and Rhetoric and Composition.
