The Department of English, Theatre, and Languages offers a Masters of Arts in English Education (MAEE) and provides candidates with opportunities for personal, intellectual, professional, and pedagogical growth.

In-service teachers with initial licensure who successfully complete the program obtain the North Carolina M license in English. MAEE is one of the few programs in the state approved by the Department of Public Instruction for the new Advanced Licensure in English. Program requirements are also aligned with National Board Certification standards.

College graduates with backgrounds in English or related fields may enroll in the program to acquire advanced knowledge and skills in literature and literacy for various personal and professional proposes, including preparation to teach in community colleges.

Through graduate course work, candidates for the MAEE acquire, extend, synthesize, apply, and reflect upon their knowledge, expertise, and experience in literature, literacy, and pedagogy. The culminating product of the graduate experience is a Capstone Portfolio and Presentation, through which candidates document that they have met the following program standards:

1. application of advanced knowledge and skills in the English classroom (for in-service teachers and MAT candidates)
2. advanced knowledge of and planning for students and diverse populations
3. expertise in research and language
4. advanced knowledge and expertise in literacy and literature
5. reflection on personal, intellectual, pedagogical, and professional growth
