Overview
About this Degree
The Comparative Literature MA program at the University of Toronto is a course-based program that accommodates a diverse range of students’ interests. The interdisciplinary and transnational character of the program is reflected in the fact that students may take up to half their courses in other departments of their choice. Students work in languages other than English, and their study may include work in a non-literary discipline. The COL1000H Faculty Seminar provides a basis for study in the program. All incoming students take this seminar course where they consider core theoretical problems of comparison.
All incoming students meet with the Graduate Coordinator to discuss their program and to decide on their course of study before beginning classes.
Programme Structure
- Students may pursue independent research for credit equivalent to 0.5 FCE at the MA level, under the direction of an advisor approved by the Centre for Comparative Literature.
- A plan of study is defined by each MA student through consultation with the Associate Director in light of the student's particular areas of interest and background.
- Average of at least B+ in coursework.
- MA students who intend to pursue doctoral studies are strongly advised to make appropriate plans for the acquisition of graduate level competence in a second language and literature other than English. An adequate reading knowledge of this second language must be demonstrated before the MA is received.
