Careers of our Literature & Writing Graduates
What makes Union’s M.A. in Literature & Writing program unique?
“The majority of the courses offered in the MA program are individualized with the precise course content determined by the student and instructor working together. Our small class sizes and individualized studies provides a very low student-teacher ratio allowing for mentoring relationships to develop between students and faculty.”

Study the creativity
throughout Literary history
Union’s Literature & Writing program qualifies you to apply to teach English composition and literature at many community colleges in face-to-face and online classrooms. Course work is completed online in a distance learning format, but you will be encouraged to apply your learning to real-world experience during your application courses. And while this major is not a creative writing degree, you can choose to incorporate your own creative writing into your study.
