Best Practices/Advice
- While we understand some students may require TA hours for funding, be careful on how much you take on. The MA program is incredibly intensive.
- The Department often has guest speakers and job talks - definitely make an effort to attend these as they can certainly benefit your academic experience.
- Most students will take 4 courses in the Fall, 4 courses in the Winter, and use the summer to work on their MRP. However, you can absolutely stretch out the program by taking summer courses if you'd like.
