老司机福利网鈥檚 combined English B.A./M.A. program will allow English majors to begin M.A. coursework as part of their undergraduate degree in order to complete the master's program in one year. SLU's accelerated program provides a master鈥檚 opportunity for majors who are interested in teaching in private schools or pursuing other professional careers. It will also offer an opportunity to finish the master鈥檚 more efficiently before going on to a Ph.D.听program.

For additional information, see the catalog entries for the following SLU programs:

B.A. in English听

M.A. in English

Students wishing to apply to this accelerated B.A. to M.A. program should have completed at least 60 credit hours at the time of application. They must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher in their overall transcript and a GPA of 3.5 or higher in their English coursework.

To apply, students must submit the following materials:

• A 750-word professional goal statement (a more detailed description is available in the current catalog鈥檚 overview of English M.A. admissions criteria).
• A writing sample of approximately 10 pages.
• A current CV or resume.
• The names of at least three members of the English department faculty with whom the student has taken a 3xxx or 4xxx-level course.

Continuation Standards

While students in the accelerated B.A. to M.A. (ABM) program retain undergraduate status, the policies for continuation in the program will mirror those already in place for continuation in the bachelor鈥檚 program, except that they must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA in both the major and overall transcript with no more than one grade of C or below and carry no more than one I incomplete grade or missing grade into a new semester. Students who drop below these standards while in the ABM program would be able to seek a one-semester probationary period before being dropped from the ABM program. Once formally becoming an M.A. student, the continuation standards of that program would apply. Students must also complete at least 12 graded credit hours per year until coursework requirements have been met.

Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment听unless otherwise noted. 听
