The Bachelor of Arts Degree in English is about literature written in English from around the world – from the earliest medieval riddles to contemporary slam poetry. You’ll also have the opportunity to study the English language: its roots, its patterns, and its uses in politics and social media. If you’re an English major or honours student, you’ll encounter the past and present of imaginative literature and understand how our language makes meaning. You’ll gain advanced skills in reading and writing and learn to imagine and to understand cultures, to work in teams, to ask good questions, and to learn independently. Upon graduation, you may find employment in secondary and post-secondary education, journalism, new media, technology, advertising, library sciences, government, politics, law, business, and not-for-profits.
