 Requirements To be considered for admission, students must have completed an Honours Degree in English Literature or in another field relevant to Public Texts, with an average of at least B+ (77%, GPA 3.3) overall and A- (80%, GPA 3.7) in English courses, or equivalent. In some cases students without an Honours Degree will be accepted into the Program either on the condition that they earn further undergraduate credits as specified by the Graduate Program Selection Committee or that they provide the Committee with a convincing case for admission based on professional experience. There is no language requirement, though students who intend to pursue doctoral work will be strongly encouraged to develop a reading ability in at least one language in addition to English.
