Introduction | |
|
For some applicants, the Winthrop M.A. will be a final degree, but quite a few are at least contemplating doctoral work and may wonder how a relatively small "comprehensive university" like Winthrop compares with a large research university that grants the Ph.D. Of course, the research universities offer larger library collections and a wider range of graduate courses, but we believe that our size and commitment to teaching may make more attractive to many applicants. Obviously, prospective graduate students will be attracted to a strong teaching department in which new M.A. candidates are taken seriously. It is also important for a graduate student to work in a scholarly institution with faculty who are making significant contributions to their fields and where scholarly journals and conferences expose each graduate student to current work in the profession. |
