English (Taught) (Okanagan Campus)

UBC Okanagan’s Master of Arts (MA) degree in English provides students with the theoretical and practical tools necessary for advanced study in literature and culture. Graduates will be prepared for PhD research and a variety of professions that value strong communication skills and a facility in writing and textual analysis—such as education, law, public administration, journalism, professional writing and editing, publishing, consulting, digital content creation, technical writing, and marketing. The MA involves coursework and independent publishable research driven by student interests and supported by attentive supervision. Our mission is to train students to be successful scholars, who are capable of contributing important literary and cultural knowledge, both within our field and the culture at large.
