| What it is | You study literature, writing, and language — how texts work, what they mean, and how to analyze them closely. You can combine English with French translation, history, philosophy, or gender and women's studies, depending on which campus and specialization appeal to you. This suits people who want to think critically about ideas and communication, whether they're planning to teach, write, edit, or work in fields where strong analysis matters. | This program lets you study the French language, literature, and culture in depth, including how French works across different regions and contexts. You'll also learn translation skills, which sets it apart from a basic language course — you're not just learning to speak French, but understanding how meaning moves between languages and cultures. It suits students who love reading, writing, and the nuances of how language shapes thought. | This program lets you design your own path across multiple disciplines rather than committing to a single major. You combine courses from areas like modern languages and translation studies with broader arts subjects, building a degree tailored to your interests. It suits students who want flexibility to explore different fields and aren't sure which single subject they want to study in depth, and it's delivered entirely online. |
