With over 25 faculty, working in areas as diverse as medieval studies and poetry, 18th-century media, psychoanalytic theory, rhetoric and discourse analysis, digital humanities, and contemporary Canadian poetics, ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV’s Department of English is historically and methodologically varied, as well as critically and pedagogically innovative.

At ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, graduate studies in English are defined by one-on-one relationships between students and professors, attention and care to developing students’ intellectual and creative aims, and a close-knit community of graduate students. 

The Master of Arts program allows students several paths to the degree: 

  • a course-work option, where the student takes six seminars over the academic year,
  • a project option, which combines coursework with an academic, digital, or creative project overseen by two faculty,
  • and a print culture certificate, which focuses the MA on book history, print culture, and literary media.
