What it is	You study English literature and language alongside comparative texts from other cultures and ancient languages. Unlike a straight English program, this one builds in cross-cultural perspectives, so you're reading works in translation and examining how stories and ideas travel across languages and time periods. It suits people who like close reading, cultural depth, and aren't intimidated by unfamiliar texts.	You study a mix of subjects drawn from across the humanities and social sciences, rather than specializing in one major field. This program lets you combine areas like languages, translation, and other liberal arts topics in a way that a traditional single-subject degree does not. It suits students who are curious about multiple disciplines and want flexibility to explore connections between them before committing to a narrow focus.	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.
