Why Study English at Northwest

The Northwest Master of Arts in English is unique to the region because most literature, writing and creative writing classes are broadly conceived “umbrella” classes. The specific content of these courses changes each time the class is offered. This system allows students the variety and depth of experience that characterize effective master’s level programs in English.
