Our Department
Faculty and Students: Our diverse, accomplished faculty are actively involved in mentoring students both during the program itself as well as the job placement process. There are currently 50 MA/MFA students and 125 PhD students enrolled in the program. Graduate classes, though, tend to be small, averaging fewer than 10 students.
Publications and Activities: Faculty members edit such scholarly journals as Papers of the Bibliographic Society of America, Arthurian Literature, the Journal of Writing Assessment, and TheJUMP: The Journal for Undergraduate Media Projects.
The department publishes the literary magazine, The Southeast Review, which is run by our graduate students. Creative Writing sponsors readings every week, featuring visiting writers, agents, and editors from all as well as our own faculty and graduate students. Rhetoric and Composition runs a Visiting Speakers series every semester and maintains the FSU Card Archive and the Museum of Everyday Writing. Literature, Media, and Culture’s Colloquium Series gives graduate students the opportunity to interact with visiting scholars at the cutting edge of literary and cultural studies.
