MA ENG Outcomes
What can you do with a Master's in English?
Taking for granted that the people who ask this usually mean "in a professional context," how can we answer this question?
One way would be to take a look back at the (roughly) last ten years of data on what alumni from the Villanova Master's program have gotten up to in their work lives.
It's no secret that full-time college-level teaching jobs in English are hard to come by, although some of our graduates have gone down that road. Others have gone into (or, often, continued with) K-12 teaching. Higher education administration is a popular field for our graduates, as is adjunct and tutoring work, which may or may not coincide with PhD program work.
Meanwhile, just over a third of our graduates are part of the 'other' category; but what does that mean?
Villanova English MA graduates have titles like producer, specialist, director, editor, analyst, and writer. They work in diverse fields that rely on sophisticated skills in reading, writing, analysis, and communication. Jobs related to marketing, editing, and advocacy surrounding medicine and tech are notably popular.
