MA StudentÌýPlacement:

Â鶹AV’s Master’s program in English is an ideal place to pursue a range of ambitious career goals. Our graduates have gone on to many prestigious doctoral programs and other rewarding employment. Recent MAs have been accepted into PhD programs at the University of Chicago, Yale, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, the University of Toronto, Brown University, the University of London, and many other top programs throughout North America and the UK (including Â鶹AV’s). Graduates from the MA program have gone on to teach at Montreal-area CEGEPS and high schools, while others have found jobs in university administration internationally (student affairs, grants offices, university development, and other areas), publishing, editing, journalism, communications, marketing, law, technical writing, literary management, creative writing, acting, theatrical production and administration, NGOs, and government ministries.
