Master of Arts in Celtic Studies
StFX is pleased to be able to offer the only terminal Master of Arts in Celtic Studies in North America, a 36-credit program based on coursework (18 credits) and a thesis (18 credits). The program draws on the rich Gaelic tradition in Nova Scotia and maintains strong ties with the local Gaelic community. It is very student-focused and has two streams: Scottish Gaelic Studies and medieval Celtic Studies. The Department also enjoys a positive reputation for its teaching and research internationally, with strong links with Harvard University, University of Toronto, University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, Trinity College Dublin, University of Limerick, and Utrecht University.
Celtic Studies has as its core the languages, literatures, and histories of Celtic-speaking peoples, from the Continental Celts of ancient Gaul to the modern survivals in Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany. It extends into a range of topics, including archaeology, art, music, literature, folklore, religion, dance, immigration, ethnic, and medieval studies.
