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.	French Literature and Linguistics is a four-year university program taught entirely in French. You study French language, literature, and writing across different periods and genres, with options to compare French works to literature in other languages. The co-op version lets you complete paid work terms at cultural organizations, media outlets, or other French-language employers alongside your classes. This program suits students who are fluent in French and want to deepen their understanding of the language and its literary traditions rather than just learn French as a second language.
