Admission Criteria
Applicants to the MA in English program are expected to have a B.A. degree in English. Applicants are expected to have a standing of a B+ (76%) average or better in their third and fourth year classes or at least twelve credits in third and fourth year English classes with an A- (80%) or better average. For applicants for whom English is not a native language, minimum acceptable TOEFL scores are 610 (paper), 104 (internet). These are minimum guidelines and the College of Graduate Studies cannot guarantee that a student with less than an A- average will be admitted into the program. Further, a student cannot be admitted into the program if a suitable supervisor is not available.
At the discretion of the Critical Studies Graduate Committee, a student who does not meet the minimal requirements, but who has a strong undergraduate record, may be allowed to take a qualifying term in the MA program. The student’s admission will be assessed at the end of the qualifying term to ascertain whether the student can enter the MA English program.
