English
The Bachelor of Arts in English is a program offered by the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies. As an English student, you are constantly involved in the close study and analysis of complex texts, from both an understanding of Literature and how studying it can lead to a better understanding of our world, to the study of language and how it is one of the most powerful, political and philosophical tools that we have in an information age. Mastery of the English language does not simply allow you to use a properly placed semicolon; it empowers you to better understand and analyze the world you live in.
English course offerings will vary from year to year. The 2009-2010 schedule detailing times and instructors may be found here.
Major in English (BA)
The English Majors program ensures that you will have a broad understanding of English up to and including the Neo-Classical Period (up to 1800) and the Romantic period to the present day (1900 to today). You will also be able to focus in with course work in your preferred period.
Honours in English (BA)
The Honours program in English is designed as an intensive course of study for a select number of students who have chosen English as their major and who have demonstrated exceptional creative, critical, and communicative abilities in their second-year course work in English. The program is a more advanced and a more directed course of study than the program for English majors and has additional requirements. Students who complete this program of study will receive a degree that will distinguish them as successful and highly motivated students of English who have achieved a high degree of competency in the discipline, and who are prepared for the rigors of more advanced scholarship.
