What it isA four-year Bachelor of Arts in English is a program where you study literature, writing, and language through close reading of texts from different periods, cultures, and genres. You'll analyze how stories, poems, and essays work and what they mean, rather than learning creative writing as your main focus. This suits people who enjoy thinking critically about books and ideas, and who want depth in a humanities subject.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.This program lets you study the ideas, cultures, and creative works that shape human society — choosing from subjects like English, history, languages, drama, and philosophy. Unlike science or engineering programs, humanities focus on interpretation, argument, and understanding rather than technical problem-solving. It suits people who enjoy reading, writing, discussing ideas, and exploring different cultures and time periods, and the co-op option lets you apply those skills in workplaces beyond campus.
