What it is	A 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 how people, societies, and cultures have changed over time, using primary sources like documents, artifacts, and written records. History at Windsor lets you focus on specific regions or periods — such as Classical civilizations, East Asia, or Celtic cultures — and you can combine it with another subject as a double major. This program suits people curious about why the world works the way it does and who want to develop research and critical thinking skills applicable across many careers.	A Business and Arts program combines study in two fields: one from business, accounting, or economics, and one from humanities or social sciences like English, anthropology, or environmental studies. Unlike a single-subject honours degree, you earn one honours diploma by completing substantial coursework in both areas rather than specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want broad knowledge across different disciplines and are curious about how business intersects with culture, society, or the environment.
