Program Options
The Literature Track provides students with a firm background in English and American literature, in addition to courses in a variety of areas of interest to the faculty. This track has the largest number of elective credits and allows students to specialize in Pre-Law, obtain Secondary Education Certification, or minor in any area of interest. The Literature Track also provides an excellent preparation for those planning to go on to graduate school or work in any fields that demand critical thinking and effective communication skills, such as editing, public relations, and marketing.
The Professional Writing and Rhetoric Track emphasizes the development of effective rhetorical, writing, and composing practices as essential preparation for professional life or graduate school. Majors focusing on Professional Writing and Rhetoric are prepared to seek careers in a range of disciplines in for-profit and non-profit sectors: business, healthcare, advocacy, publishing, marketing, research, editing, education, law, and more. In addition to its focus on improving writing, analytical, and persuasive skills, the Professional Writing and Rhetoric Track develops a familiarity with the theoretical and practical approaches to writing that span professional and academic contexts.
The BA to MA in English is the only international five-year program in which students complete a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree in English at Misericordia and a one-year Master of Arts degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. Students choose from the following specializations: a Master's degree in English, with tracks in Renaissance, Victorian, or Modern and Contemporary Literature; a Master's degree in Children's Literature; or a Master's degree in Samuel Beckett: Archive, Text, and Performance.
The secondary education program in English is designed to prepare teachers of English for Grades 7-12. A unique aspect of the program is that it prepares teachers to effectively deal with students with disabilities who are likely to be included in their classes. It is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and leads to a PA Instructional I certificate
The English/Pre-Law Specialization was developed in accordance with the recommendation of the Association of American Law Schools that prospective law students have a broad liberal arts background. The program has been carefully designed to develop essential communication and thinking skills and to prepare students for the Law School Admission Test and the study of law. Law schools attended by recent graduates include Boston University, Catholic University, Georgetown University. George Washington University, New York University, Syracuse University, and Temple University.
Students have the option to complete a BA in English prior to entering the entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy program.
The English minor is designed for students who enjoy literature and who wish to develop further their critical reading, thinking, and writing skills.
The Writing minor is designed to help students develop strong writing skills related to their intended careers, or may focus on kinds of writing that are of personal interest to them.
The Theatre minor is designed for students interested in drama and performance, and for those students who would benefit, in an increasingly media-oriented society, from the acquisition of technical and performance skills
