If you are not eligible for your first choice, your subsequent choices will be considered in your indicated order of preference. In most cases: If you apply to only 1 Brock program but do not qualify, you will be considered for an alternative or related program. If you apply but are not admitted to a co-op program, you will automatically be considered for the regular, non-co-op program.

What it isA three-year English degree focused on reading and analyzing literature across different cultures and time periods, plus the study of language itself. It differs from a four-year honors program in breadth rather than depth — you'll complete fewer advanced courses but still gain solid grounding in literary criticism and writing. This suits people who want to study literature seriously without committing to the longer credential or intensive research focus of an honors stream.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.
