Graduate Degrees

Masters of Arts in English
The Master of Arts in English is a flexible program designed to prepare students for doctoral-level study or for careers in post-secondary teaching, and to provide secondary teachers with a content-specific program to enhance their credentials.

Tech’s M.A. in English with Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) option offers graduate students an opportunity to include the four courses prescribed by the Arkansas Department of Education for ESL endorsement within a structured degree program. The English with TESL option can prepare students for doctoral-level study or for careers in post-secondary teaching and the degree can also be used to enhance the credentials of secondary teachers.

Master of Liberal Arts
Arkansas Tech University is one of about sixty universities nationwide, and the first university in Arkansas, to offer the Master of Liberal Arts Degree. The MLA Degree is suited to the student who is interested in graduate study in the liberal arts, but is not interested in a research degree in a specific liberal arts discipline or in a graduate degree in a technical area.
