The Master of Arts in English (MA) at Dalhousie University is a small, selective graduate program designed for in-depth scholarly engagement in English literature and related fields. Students undertake six graduate seminars, attend professionalization workshops, and complete a thesis (10,000–12,000 words) under faculty supervision. Designed to be completed in one calendar year (September to August), the program emphasizes collegiality, close contact with supervisors, and opportunities for research, teaching, and professional development. Graduates develop advanced skills in literary analysis, writing, teaching, and research, and are well-prepared for PhD studies or careers in education, publishing, communications, and more. 来源： https://www.dal.ca/faculty/gradstudies/apply-graduate-studies/admission-requirements.html
