The English (MA) is offered by Brock University's Faculty of Humanities and leads to a Master of Arts degree. The program engages students in a critical examination of how texts reflect and shape their communities of origin and reception, and how literary and non-literary texts are produced and used within often-conflicting cultural discourses. It admits students each September and can be completed via a Major Research Paper route (three terms, one year) or a Thesis route (six terms, two years). Applicants submit an online application, transcripts, two academic references, a statement of no more than two pages describing academic interests and background preparation, and a recent writing sample demonstrating the ability to construct an informed academic argument. Graduates are prepared for doctoral study or careers in fields such as publishing, education, and cultural and communications work that draw on advanced literary analysis and research skills.
