Boasting one of North America's most robust and diverse graduate English programs, the University of Toronto's Graduate English Department provides comprehensive literary studies spanning traditional historical research and cutting-edge theoretical, cultural, and interdisciplinary approaches.
This academic diversity shines through in the 40+ graduate seminars offered annually and through cross-departmental collaborations with specialized programs. Both the MA and PhD curricula deliver extensive knowledge of British, Canadian, Indigenous, American, and Postcolonial literatures, advanced theoretical training, and outstanding resources for major research initiatives.
The integrated JD/MA in Law and English caters to students exploring the connections between legal studies and literature, allowing completion of both degrees in three years instead of the standard four-year timeline for separate programs.
