Literary Studies - Theatre Studies

Duolingo English Test: 120 TOEFL iBT: 89 PTE Academic: 60 IELTS: 6.5 Delivered On Campus Campus Location Guelph, Canada Disciplines Literacy Education Overview Key Facts The Literary Studies - Theatre Studies program at University of Guelph aims to give intellectual and practical academic training to a small number of students who demonstrate exceptional scholarly potential and who show keen interest in one or more of the PhD program's fields of specialization. Although students might choose to focus on either literary studies or theatre studies, the special opportunity provided by the PhD program is its contribution to the evolution of interdisciplinary work in the humanities. The collaboration allows for opportunities not available in more traditional doctoral programs, especially in inter-discursive and theoretical work across the boundaries of literary and theatre studies. The program aims to foster in students a flexibility and creativity in defining their areas and methods of research that will serve them well in an academic job market that now seldom looks for narrow specialization or coverage of a single field.
