Emphasizing career preparation and personal enrichment, the master’s in English program at Azusa Pacific explores the ways in which faith informs and transforms works of literature. The program develops graduate students’ ability to think critically, write persuasively, and solve problems creatively—desirable strengths in many career fields.

In addition to equipping students for further studies at the doctoral level, the MA in English prepares graduates for careers in writing and communication, higher education, secondary school teaching, government, Christian education and ministry, nonprofit organizations, business, and more.
