Our Evening MA Program was conceived to suit the needs of professionals who are currently working in various industries. The goal of the program is to help students build research capibilities in linguistics or English literature topics that they can easily apply at work.

Our required courses introduce you to the many fields of study that may interest you and prepare you to think critically and write well. Our elective courses allow you to explore your personal areas of interest more thoroughly and define your research interests. After your coursework is complete, you will work one-on-one with an adviser in order to do an original research project in the area that most interests you. Some students choose to develop a project that involves one of the many areas of linguistics (second language acquisition, applied linguistics, translation, syntax, social linguistics, phonology), while others write their thesis on a literary, film studies, or cultural studies topic. Some teachers will also develop a thesis that investigates a pedagogical topic.
