The Master of Arts in English (thesis-based) is a two-year degree for students seeking a deeper understanding of English studies. The program requires a Graduate Pro-seminar on critical skills and professional issues, followed by an original thesis that students submit and defend in an open oral examination. The specialization is Literature in English, with a Creative Writing option available. The program is delivered on-campus, admits students for a September start, and has a four-year maximum completion window. Graduates pursue careers in editing, publishing, law, archival work, educational software, post-secondary teaching, and PhD studies. Admission requires a four-year undergraduate degree with a major in English Literature or a closely related discipline, a 5-10 page sample of critical writing (plus an additional 10-page creative sample for creative writing applicants), a statement of intent, and two reference letters.
