A: Currently, our department offers the M.A. degree with concentration
areas in Women's Studies, Creative Writing, Composition/Pedagogy
and Traditional Literary Studies. We will offer a new concentration
area in Poetry/Poetics beginning Fall 2002. The University of
Maine does not offer an MFA degree. The Ph.D. program in the
Department of English has been approved by the Graduate School,

this degree will be available within 3-5 years.
