Overview

About the program

The two-year program in Irish Literature and Culture from Boston College of study allows students to design an integrated, individualized, interdisciplinary course of study drawing from a range of fields, including literature, Irish language, history, women’s studies, American studies, fine arts, music and cultural studies.

Candidates are accepted via the English department’s M.A. admissions committee and are eligible for fellowships and teaching assignments on an equal footing with English M.A. candidates.

M.A. candidates are strongly encouraged to participate in professional meetings and conferences. Irish Studies faculty offers editorial advice and practice sessions for students presenting conference papers. This process helps students with preparation, delivery, timing and responding to questions. Similarly, faculty works closely with students prior to submitting written work for publication.
