Why come to the ULM English department for a Masters Degree?
We are a small, student-friendly program.
Our graduate students get substantially more
faculty attention than do students in most larger Masters
programs.
Our graduate students are a close knit group.
We are a faculty with diverse professional and personal interests.
We offer night classes and online classes for students who wish to work full time while pursuing graduate degrees.
For students living in Northeast Louisiana, West-Central Mississippi, South-East Arkansas, or North-East Texas, we are an accredited program close to home.
We look as closely at your future academic potential as at your prior academic record.
Many of our graduates teach here for several years before moving on to Ph. D programs, other teaching positions, or other careers.
Many of our graduates move on to excellent Ph.
D. programs throughout the country--places like Auburn
University, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Texas A.
and M., the University of Arkansas, Louisiana State
University, and the University of Oklahoma.
