The Université du Québec à Montréal has announced that its literary studies graduate programs will be redesigned for Fall 2026. UQAM Professor Catherine Cyr explained that the updates reflect changes in the scope of the field, as well as the changing expertise in the university’s faculty. As a part of the redesign, each program’s seminars will be divided into four categories relating to: theory and criticism; literature, culture, and society; literary practices; and theories and practices of creation. The master’s program’s creative writing pathway has also been revised to allow students more applied opportunities like workshops. Master’s and doctoral students will also be able to integrate both research and creative writing into their dissertations and theses.
