  1. Hi. Does anyone know about this program at Wayne State. I believe they have a good English Department, but I know nothing and there's not a whole lot their website about the comp/rhet program. My goal is to teach writing at a community college, freelance, and also find the opportunity to do editing. Regarding the latter, is it common for graduates of comp/rhet to get into editing. It seems that most people (organizations) want people familiar with--PhD--in the subject area. Thanks.
  2. Thanks I believe IUP may have a joint or additional program in TESOl. I'm going to post this somewhere else on the forum too: Does anyone know about the MA comp and rhet program at Wayne State? Thanks.
  3. Hi, does anyone know which has greater opportunity for employment/more marketable--I'm thinking community colleges, freelance writing, and there are probably job categories I haven't thought of. I've tutored ESL as freelancer and tutor writing at a community college writing center. I'd like to get an MA. I'm not so interested in teaching abroad. I don't have a teaching certificate nor plan to get one. I work with many part-time instructors who work hard and are not compensated well for the work they do. I was told by a full time instructor that if one is willing to travel across the country, there are more opportunities. I'd like to live in a big city, or a fairly large university town. Thanks very much. Sarah
  4. Does anyone know about U Mass Boston's MA program in English focusing in comp/rhet. I'm applying to UM-Flint--I live in Ann Arbor for the coming semester but I just discovered that U Mass Boston has rolling admissions and it looks great from the website but I know nothing about it. Thanks. Sarah
  5. Sorry it this shows up twice. I hit a key and the post was gone. I'm wondering about the job outlook for MAs in Rhet/Comp. I'm thinking about taking courses in Digital Rhetoric as well as adding TESL to my program even if it takes me an extra year (if I get funding). Yesterday, I spoke with the Director of the Writing Center at the community college where I tutor. He told me that getting the MA was like a "cover charge" or a "club card." He has an MA but it took him 10 years at this college to be hired full-time. I'd like to teach at a community college. I'm wondering if the cachet of the university where the MA is offered is relevant as it's not a PhD. Has anyone heard of UM-Flint? I went to Michigan-Ann Arbor undergrad so that's why I'm looking at it. Also, looking at Michigan State but I missed their funding deadline. (I was wondering also if anyone knows whether those funding deadlines are hard and fast). I don't want to do a PhD--am ABD in clinical psych and don't want to repeat that process or take that long. Thank you for any help.
