Graduate Studies
Admissions
Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree from
an accredited college or university. Ordinarily, applicants
are expected to have been English majors, but admission
will be considered also for those who otherwise demonstrate
the competency necessary for successful graduate work
in English. To apply for admission to IUPUI, you
must fill out an application for Graduate admission.
Degrees
& Programs
IUPUI’s graduate English program has been designed
to prepare students for careers in the analysis and production
of texts. To this end, the program covers issues and skills
in reading and writing in the richest sense of these words
— in order to prepare students to address these issues
and to teach these skills.

Internships
This internship will be a supervised experience in the
uses of language in a workplace, such as a company, a
governmental agency, a nonprofit organization, or an educational
institution (IUPUI or another). Your internship experience
should be integrally related to your MA course work and/or
your thesis topic.
Thesis
The final requirement for the MA is the master’s
thesis. Depending on a range of factors–your nonacademic
time commitments, the amount of relevant research that
you have done in your course work and internship, and
so forth–your thesis should take from 6 months to
a year to complete.
Financial
Aid
In addition to this campus-wide financial aid, the Department
of English offers a limited, but growing, number of associate
faculty positions, research assistantships, and fellowships.
Research assistantships awarded by the English Department
require an application; details will be announced at the
time of selection (usually the spring before the assistantship
year).
