What is the difference between the MA in English and the Master in Arts for Teachers of English (MATE)?
The regular MA program in English is directed towards those who have recently completed their BAs and who are abreast of current critical approaches to English studies. These graduate students are typically young, they can commit full-time to their studies, and they have relatively flexible schedules. Successful applicants for the MATE Program will be full-time (or on-call) teachers, who have completed their BA in English some time ago, but who persist in their passion for the study of literature and who seek the challenge and intellectual fulfillment – and financial reward – of a graduate degree.
