MA in Creative Writing and English - Thesis
The MA Programs in English
The University of Regina Department of English is a medium-sized department offering courses and research opportunities in most areas of English, American, Indigenous and Canadian literatures. The size of its student body ensures that students have ample opportunity for intellectual discussion with their peers, but also the close contact with faculty members that larger institutions are unable to provide. The Department currently offers three routes for the MA in English: course-based, project-based, and thesis-based. The course MA (ten courses) provides an opportunity to achieve a breadth of knowledge in many areas of English literature. The project-based MA (seven courses plus project) and the thesis-based MA (five courses plus thesis) provide an opportunity to do in-depth research, and an extended piece of writing, on one area of English literature. The Master's degree is normally the highest offered in the Department of English at the University of Regina, and affords the Department the opportunity for close support of Master’s students and high-priority supervision of Master's project and Master's thesis. All three pathways offer students excellent preparation for graduate studies at the doctoral level, or for jobs and careers in English. The Department of English also offers an MA in Creative Writing: the thesis-based consists of five courses (two in Creative Writing, and three in English Literature/Theory), and a creative thesis with a critical/theoretical introduction; the project-based degree consists of seven courses (two in Creative Writing, and five in English Literature/Theory) and a special project (with a Critical introduction).
