Masters SOP

Oct 05, 2008 17:18

I'm applying mostly to PhD programs (in English), but I have a few MA programs as backups. I'm currently working on school-specific paragraphs for my SOP, and I was wondering if I should mention specific professors I'm jazzed about for the MA programs. Mostly, for the rest of the paragraph, I've been writing about how great it is that their curriculum allows the MA student to take a broad range of classes while taking more specialized "electives". I guess I don't know as much about how Master's programs work as much as I do PhD programs. I have chosen the MA programs I'm applying to with my specialty in mind, but to what extent will I actually be able to work closely with these professors and would it look like a misunderstanding of the program if I mention them?
Thanks for the help!!
