McMaster's MA in Gender and Social Justice is offered by the School of Gender and Social Justice in the Faculty of Humanities. The program studies gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability and age through feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial and queer lenses, drawing on history, sociology, cultural studies and related disciplines. Teaching, research and community-engaged praxis are treated as interconnected, with an emphasis on activism alongside academic study. Full-time students normally complete the coursework-based degree in one calendar year starting in September; a part-time route extends over as long as five years. Graduates are prepared for work in fields such as education, law, journalism, non-profit community organizations, public policy and social work. The School also offers a Graduate Diploma for doctoral students elsewhere at McMaster who want to add gender and social justice training to their PhD.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires an Honours bachelor's degree from a recognized university, generally with at least a B+ average (equivalent to 8.5 on McMaster's 12-point GPA scale) in upper-year courses. Applicants who completed a previous degree taught in English need no further proof of English proficiency; other applicants must meet McMaster's graduate English-language requirement (IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, minimum 6.0 per band, or an equivalent TOEFL, Duolingo, PTE or CAEL score). The program is delivered on campus, admits for September entry only, and is normally completed as one full calendar year of full-time study; a part-time option extends up to five years.
