Notre Dame de Namur University
Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) was founded in 1851 and is a private, independent, Catholic, coeducational institution. The university offers a day undergraduate program as well as evening programs for working adults to complete undergraduate and graduate degrees or credentials. NDNU currently enrolls approximately 1,500 students from 25 states and 23 foreign countries.

Master's - English
The Master of Arts in English program at Notre Dame de Namur University offers two emphases: creative writing and literature. Our students' awareness of every aspect of literature is enhanced by our analytical, theoretical, and practical approaches to literary texts.
Our curriculum is unique in that core courses in writing, literary theory, and linguistics are required in addition to genre courses in lyric, drama and narrative. Depending on the student's choice of emphasis, the program may include a research thesis or a creative writing project as the culminating experience. Or, students may elect to conduct independent research on a topic of special interest leading to a final exit examination.
