Master of Arts Program (MA)

Four Streams to Meet Your Academic Needs

The SFU Linguistics master of arts (MA) program has four streams:
Accelerated
Thesis-based
Project-based
Course-based 

All three streams require the completion of 35 units and are expected to take two years (six academic terms). Students offered admission to our program are advised which stream(s) they are invited to pursue, and transferring to a different stream is only possible with the written permission of the student’s faculty advisor and the Graduate Program Chair.
