The program offers graduate work leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in literature, the Master of Arts in literature, and the Master of Arts in Creative Writing. The Literature faculty is strong in traditional areas of literary scholarship with concentrations in criticism, cultural studies, film, and rhetoric and composition. The Creative Writing faculty includes nationally recognized writers in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and translation. Temple Ph.D.’s in English literature primarily find employment, both full-time and part-time, in college and university departments of English. Temple M.A.’s in English literature primarily find employment at the high school or preparatory school, in editing or publishing, or as professional writers. Temple M.A.’s in creative writing find employment as writers, teachers, publicists, writing consultants, or publishers; and they also go on to doctoral study in English or other disciplines.

If you have any questions about the graduate programs available through the English department, or would like to contact graduate faculty or students about the program, please contact us.
