Mason’s English degree is not a conventional one. As English major, you can study the poetry of Milton and learn to write digital poetry. You can specialize in Renaissance literature or modern world literature. You can take courses on the folklore of Mexico or the films of Bollywood. You can learn about traditional rhetorical strategies and how they have been adopted to the internet age. Mason’s English department combines the advantages of a large research institution with the personal attention of a small college. Because we will teach you to read critically and write carefully, our classes are uniquely small for a university our size. You will develop these important skills not just by reading traditional texts, but also through the use of technologies such as blogs, wikis, and multimedia production. The creative writing concentration is designed for students who wish to devote a considerable portion of their work in English to the writing of poetry or fiction (or both). Usually students fulfill the requirements for this concentration by taking four writing courses from the list of those that always count, ideally including either ENGH 492 (Advanced Fiction Writing workshop) or ENGH 494 (Advanced Poetry Writing workshop). Note: ENGH 396: Introduction to Creative Writing (or equivalent training) is prerequisite to 397 and 398, but 396 is not applicable to the concentration.
