Latest News
Admission to the M.A. English: Literature, Rhet Comp, and TESL programs requires a minimum 3.0 GPA in your last 60 units of coursework. No recommendation letters or test scores are required. Nor is a personal statement required beyond what the application online asks for.
We do not require a degree in English: Literature, but non-majors will be required to take up to five undergraduate prerequisites.
Applicants to the MA TESL who do not have a background in linguistics are welcome, but may need to take up to three prerequisite classes upon acceptance.
If you are slightly below a 3.0 GPA, you may still apply, but you must send a personal statement and recommendation letters to Dr. Debra Best (dbest@csudh.edu).

For inquiries and advising concerning the M.A. programs in Literature and Rhetoric/Composition, please contact Dr. Jane Lee jlee@csudh.edu
