Investigate historical and contemporary areas of British, American, Canadian and English-language postcolonial literatures, alongside the theories relevant to their study with the Master of English in Literary Studies program. Choose between three streams of study to suit your needs and interests. With the thesis option you’ll complete coursework and conduct original research leading to a master’s thesis (roughly 80-100 pages) that offers an in-depth inquiry into a literary studies problem, while situating the proposed solution to that problem in relation to the current theory. With the master’s research paper option, you’ll complete coursework and conduct original research leading to a research paper (roughly 40-50 pages) that offers an in-depth inquiry into a literary studies problem, while situating the proposed solution to that problem in relation to the current theory. The coursework option focuses entirely on courses. You’ll be prepared to pursue further study at the PhD level, or to pursue a career in publishing, private industry, government, educational organizations, non-governmental organizations, or in your own business. |
