The program offers two tracks leading to the M.A. degree: literature and writing studies. Both tracks include 56:350:503 Introduction to Graduate Literary Study, a course in philology, and at least four literature courses; but each allows for four additional courses in a specialized area. The literature track is intended for students who want to pursue a general interest in literature or to prepare for doctoral study at another institution; the writing studies track equips students to teach composition and literature at secondary schools and community colleges.
The Graduate School at Rutgers-Camden is proud to offer a master of fine arts (M.F.A.) program in creative writing. The admission process for this program begins in September 2007, with classes to start in fall 2008.
