If you plan to pursue a Masters Degree when you graduate, you should take advantage of the English Department’s BA-MA program. You start your MA while you are finishing your BA by enrolling in the 600 level sections of your senior courses. The course then counts toward both your undergraduate and graduate degrees.
It is a great bargain because you pay undergraduate tuition for the more expensive graduate courses. You can take three BA-MA courses, and you are on your way to the MA.
Please look at the program description and selection criteria on the English Department web site: http://english.umbc.edu/bama-program-2/
If you meet these criteria and want to know more, contact Dr. McCarthy: mccarthy@umbc.edu
