M.A. and M.S.Ed. in English with Speech Emphasis
Students in the M.A. program may elect to take a concentration in Speech by declaring their intention to do so when filing for candidacy. They will be advised to take their six hours of unspecified electives in Speech, and depending on their backgrounds in English, they may elect to take up to six additional hours in Speech in the M.A. program. In no case will a student take fewer than 14 hours of English. Neither ENGL 10698 nor ENGL 10590 will be counted toward those 14 hours. Speech emphasis is not available in either the M.S.Ed. program, or in the M.A. with English Pedagogy Emphasis.
Students seeking the M.A. in English with a Speech Emphasis will complete an English Department portfolio and oral defense and will complete a comprehensive examination in the area of speech. Each department will be responsible for construction and evaluation of its part of the final assessment.
