- Where do I go to apply, and what is required for the PhD/MA program?
-
MA Applicants are required to hold an Honours B.A. (or the equivalent), normally with an A- average, in a subject area related to Canadian Studies. Possession of the minimum entrance standing is not in itself assurance of admission into the program. In addition to transcripts and letters of reference, application packages will include a statement of interest and a representative academic writing sample.
The requirement for admission into the joint Ph.D. program is a master’s degree (or equivalent), with at least an A- average (10.0 G.P.A.) in Canadian Studies or one of the disciplines represented by the School. Applicants should note, however, that meeting the admission requirement does not guarantee admission to the program. In addition to transcripts and letters of reference, application packages will include a statement of interest outlining the applicant’s proposed area of doctoral research and a representative academic writing sample.
For both Ph.D. and MA programs, we recommend applicants explore the webpages of faculty members in advance of applying to discuss the program’s specifics, their application, and the potential for supervision. SCS faculty research areas, related courses, and publications are described on their individual SCS webpages. Applicants interested in the heritage conservation specialization, in particular, should contact appropriate faculty members to discuss this specialization.
You can find a list of our faculty members and their research under our People tab.
The process to apply is straightforward and done online. Our graduate admission office takes you step-by-step on how to apply.
