Program Requirements
Two MA routes are available: a) a thesis-based MA and b) a course-based MA for both full- and part-time students.
For the thesis-based MA, normally 18 units of graduate-level courses and a thesis (registering in a minimum of 6 units of thesis registrations) are required. For the course-based MA, 24 units of graduate-level courses and a project (POL S 900) are required.
There is no language requirement for the MA degree.
The minimum period of residence for full-time programs is two four-month terms of full-time attendance at the University of Alberta.
Length of Program
The time required to complete the MA will vary with the program and candidate. Full-time students in the MA thesis-based program will normally complete the program within 18 months. Full-time students in the MA course-based program will normally complete the program within 12 months. A part-time MA student must maintain continuous registration and complete the program in four years.
