MA Placement

Many of our MA graduates continue in our PhD program while others have pursued careers outside of academia. Below is a list of graduates who have pursued graduate education outside of FSU, as well as their current positions.

The department makes every effort to maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of former MA students. If you are a former student who has pursued a PhD outside of FSU, or landed a job in high education, please send us a note so we can update our placement information. Please send all messages to Dr. Matthew Goff, Director of Graduate Studies.
