Admission Requirements

Though students in the two streams of the MA in Cultural Studies attend the same classes, they approach the subject matter through different theoretical and practical frameworks. Therefore, the admission requirements for students in the Texts and Cultures stream and the Curatorial Practices stream differ somewhat.

Admission Requirements: Texts and Cultures Stream

Applicants should have an Honours or Four-year BA in English, a joint Honours or Four-Year BA in English and another subject, or an Honours or Four-Year BA in a field that provides the applicant with preparation in cultural, literary, textual, and/or visual studies (in this context, some degrees we will consider include Honours or Four-Year BAs in Anthropology, Art History, History, Politics, Rhetoric and Communication, Sociology, and Women’s and Gender Studies). Other degrees and/or experience also will be considered on a case-by-case basis. A minimum number of courses in textual studies (the equivalent of 30 credit hours* of study at the Honours level or 48 credit hours of study at other postsecondary levels) is required of all students, to be completed either before entry into the program or during a qualifying period.

Application Deadlines

Application packages will be on hold until ALL required documents are received. The application deadline is February 1 for all applicants (international and domestic). Applications received after the official deadline will be considered, but financial assistance cannot be guaranteed for late applicants. The normal date to begin the program is September. For current information on scholarships, please visit the Department and Graduate Studies websites.

How To Apply

  3. Supply two confidential letters of recommendation from individuals most familiar with your academic work and relevant experience. Letters should be signed and sealed if they are submitted by the student as part of an application package.
  4. Attach a statement of interest of 500 words, which includes a brief description of your undergraduate training, your reasons for applying to this program, and your areas of research interest in cultural studies.
  5. If applicable, attach an academic resumé. Pertinent listings include scholarships, awards, grants, and other distinctions; conference papers, other presentations, and publications; and volunteer and community service.
