Graduate Admission

Graduate students in the Department of English frequently present at national, international and local conferences and have received many prestigious awards. Approximately 500 graduate students are enrolled each semester. The program awards excellence by offering outstanding financial packages, including travel funds for professional development and teaching assistantships on a competitive basis. Class sizes are small, giving students the opportunity to work closely with professors in a variety of fields. Reading groups, guest lectures, workshops and other events help bring students and faculty together. Opportunities for professional development and mentoring, such as Preparing Future Faculty and Knowledge Mobilization, prepare graduate students for successful careers within and beyond academia. In addition, there are several internship opportunities for English graduate students as well as study abroad opportunities. Contact us for more information, or send an e-mail to enggrad@asu.edu.
