Our one-year master’s program offers students the chance to experience the challenges and expectations of graduate school in a collegial and stimulating environment.
This MA gives a competitive edge in the job market, whether in business, the government, or non-profit sector––in areas as diverse as publishing, human resources, communications, public relations, and marketing. It also gives an academic advantage to students applying for further professional qualifications and training in teaching, journalism, law, and library science.
Our master’s program also effectively prepares students for PhD programs in English literature and may serve as a conduit to our own PhD in English, which is unique in Canada for its commitment to fusing archival investigation in manuscript, print, and digital cultures with theoretical inquiry into literary and social production.
Collaborative Specializations in African Studies, Climate Change and Digital Humanities are available.
