Our Master's program supports innovative as well as traditional approaches to studying literature. Fostering the interdisciplinary study of American literature and culture, British literature within historical and theoretical frameworks, as well as the roles of gender and ethnicity as shaping factors in literary production and analysis, our faculty are highly appreciated by students for the individual guidance we give them, the guidance that leads to a substantive M.S. thesis.
Moreover, we are one of a few M.A. programs that offer *teaching assistantships* each year as well as a limited number of *full- and part-time tuition remission scholarships* on a competitive basis.
We are distinctive too because of our *strongly international character*. The international students in our M.A. program ofter allow vital exchanges that provide our U.S. students with new perspectives and friendships. Actually, in this regard, we have done so well that we have been able to secure a number of international agreements with foreign universities, as well as with the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD and the Fulbright Program.
We try to *keep our program small *(ca 12 to 15 candidates in residence each year). This way we ensure that our graduate students receive close mentoring from the faculty who are deeply committed to a broad range of scholarly interests.
