What St. Francis Xavier University says about their program:
StFX is pleased to be able to offer the only terminal MA in Celtic Studies in North America, a 36-credit program of study based on coursework and a thesis. The program prides itself on its focus on the individual student. Only 1-3 students are accepted into the program each year; each student meets with the Chair of Department and the Graduate Studies Coordinator to create an individual program that reflects the student’s main interests. This focus on the individual has led to extremely motivated students.
Students will typically choose one of two streams: modern Scottish Gaelic, for students with prior knowledge of the language, or medieval Irish or Welsh. All MA students are required to take Old Irish (also called Old Gaelic) as a basis for the modern Gaelic languages (Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic) and the core of the field of medieval Celtic Studies.
