The USM English major is designed to lead students toward a sensitive understanding of English, American, and other literature written by men and women of the past and present who have memorably expressed their personal visions and the ideas of their times. It is structured to provide insights into critical and theoretical problems encountered by all who wish to view literature from diverse perspectives. The major also provides students with the opportunity to participate in the creative process, developing their talents through courses and workshops in fiction writing, poetry, and drama.

One of the nation's leading low-residency MFA programs, Stonecoast provides a superb, open-minded, and rigorous two-year graduate education in the art of writing. Semesters begin with stimulating ten-day residencies at the historic Stone House on the breathtakingly beautiful coast of Maine. Award-winning faculty guide students in intensive one-on-one tutorials in creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and popular fiction, with possibilities for elective work in other areas including writing for stage and screen, translation, performance, and cross-genre. Stonecoast's supportive community helps students to discover their independent voices while communicating to a wide readership.
