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.A Humanities program lets you study how humans create meaning through language, culture, history, and ideas. You choose from subjects like English, history, philosophy, drama, and various languages, building a degree around your interests rather than following a single prescribed path. It suits people who want to understand how societies work and express themselves clearly, without committing to a single specialized field from day one.
