Master of Arts in English - Academic (thesis-based)

University of New Brunswick

Writing the thesis affords students an unparalleled opportunity for a period of extended, independent research on a topic of special interest. For those going on to doctoral work, the thesis provides terrific preparation for writing a doctoral dissertation and for those moving into other work contexts, it requires students to develop superior argumentation, editing and writing and communication skills--all highly transferable to a variety of situations. Chapters of academic MA theses regularly become academic articles and conference presentations.
