All programs equip students to pursue advanced studies in British, Canadian, or American literature informed by a broad knowledge of literary history and by recent developments in literary criticism and cultural theory. The department is well known for its annual Canadian Literature Symposium, and its faculty is distinguished and well-published.
The department also offers a CO-OP option at the master's level that students can apply to add to the coursework options (with or without Concentration in Creative Writing) and to the major research paper program option.

The MA program is intended to refine the critical, scholarly, and creative skills of highachieving graduates from undergraduate honours programs. An honours BA in English literature with a minimum high second class standing of B+ is normally required.
A 500-word statement of interest in the program is required with the application. Students applying for the MA with thesis, or major research paper options should submit a sample of their academic writing, such as an essay written for an undergraduate English course.
Students who have completed a BA or equivalent degree with a minimum of six full courses in English with an average of 75 per cent (B+) may be admitted to a qualifying year which normally comprises 30 units selected to ensure coverage of the major fields of English literature. These courses must be successfully completed in each case with a mark of B+ or higher. By special permission one or two graduate courses may be substituted for the equivalent number of undergraduate courses. After the requirements of the qualifying year have been satisfactorily fulfilled, students may apply for admission to the regular MA program. Such admission will depend on the quality of their overall record.
The Department offers three options for the MA: Thesis, Major Research Paper and Coursework.
The cooperative option can be added to the Major Research Paper and the Coursework only.
The MA Program no longer requires students to demonstrate competence in a language other than English.
