RIC Graduate Student in class

At Rhode Island College, graduate programs in English prepare students to succeed as literary professionals, whether as teachers, writers, or scholars. We offer a master’s in English with an optional concentration in creative writing, as well as certificate programs in literature and creative writing. Small class sizes allow students to work closely with their professors and peers in seminars and workshops as they develop projects tailored to their particular interests. Many of our graduates have gone on to pursue a Ph.D. and are now professors, published authors, and leading scholars in their field. A graduate degree in English can open doors for career paths in publishing, editing, administration, or marketing in a variety of corporate, online, and academic settings.
