文学研究文学硕士（MA-LIT）
In the Master of Arts in Literary Studies (MA-LIT), students have the option of completing their degree by coursework or by a combination of coursework and a major project or a thesis. We investigate historical and contemporary areas of British, American, Canadian and English-language postcolonial literatures, alongside the theories relevant to their study. MA-LIT graduates are employed in publishing, private industry, government, educational organizations, non-governmental organizations, and in their own businesses, others go on to doctoral programs. In this stream six term-length courses must be completed, and a completed research project. An MRP proposal should consist of an overview of the entire project of no more than 500 words, exclusive of bibliography. It should include first-page headings with your name, your supervisor's name, your second-reader's name, and a title. Sections should be clearly signaled with subheads and blank space. Pages should be numbered. The purpose of the document is to solicit feedback from the thesis supervisor, the second reader, and the English Graduate Committee in order to ensure the successful completion of the project. The Graduate Committee must approve the proposal before it can go forward. The proposal should outline the project's major research goals and the corpus of texts or objects to be considered. It should briefly consider some major extant work in the field.
