Admission Requirements

3+
For the MA program, the Department’s minimum admission requirements are a BA in English (or its equivalent) with a minimum GPA of 3.3 in courses in English, and with an admission GPA of at least 3.0 on the 4-point scale from the University of Alberta, or an equivalent qualification and standing from a recognized institution. The admission GPA will be calculated on the last 60 units of graded coursework completed, or on the equivalent of the last two years of full-time graded coursework. The graduate committee uses the two GPA benchmarks as part of its decision process.
