Overview
The Master of Arts in English (Non-Thesis) is a course-based program offered by the Department of English in the Faculty of Arts at McGill University. The program emphasizes critical thinking, literature synthesis, and attention to detail, and can be completed within one calendar year. It culminates in a major independent research paper supervised by a faculty member, rather than a thesis. Areas of study within the department include Literature, Drama and Theater, and Cultural Studies, with faculty research spanning medieval and early modern studies, Victorian studies, modernism, digital humanities, and decolonization. Admission requires an eligible bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0, along with English-language proficiency. Applications for the Fall intake open September 15, with a deadline of January 15 for both international and domestic applicants.
