Master of Arts – Interdisciplinary Studies - International students

Are you studying outside of Canada and the United States?

We have gathered a variety of resources to help international students succeed in the MAIS program, including:

As English is the primary language of instruction at Athabasca University, it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure they have an adequate level of proficiency in the English language. Moreover, since the MAIS is a graduate level program, it is to be expected that the materials will be challenging. Although faculty will try to facilitate the learning process as much as possible, they may have to redirect students to alternate remedial resources.

There are minimum English language proficiency requirements allowed for admission to a graduate program at Athabasca University. It is the student's responsibility to ensure they meet the minimum requirements. Shape
