Heritage makes continuing education fit your busy life. You can choose to complete the entire M.A. in English program online and/or in traditional classrooms on the Toppenish campus. Convenient course times also let you continue to work while earning your degree. All courses are available around the clock online and are taught on campus predominately during weekends and occasionally in the evening.

 

The M.A. in English program maintains a multicultural emphasis and blends studies in a broad array of areas, such as American, British, Chicano/a, and Native American literature as well as literature by women. The program’s flexibility allows students to design their individual programs to meet their long-term goals and to choose special topics directed toward their theses. Students can elect to concentrate their studies in multicultural literature, applied linguistics or writing, or they can build a generalist program from courses that fall into each of these categories.

 

At Heritage you’ll learn from dedicated professors who have Ph.D. or MFA specializations related to American ethnic literatures and/or complementary literary theory as well as credentials in linguistics, creative writing and composition theory—all with multicultural emphases.
