What it is	English at Windsor combines the study of literature, creative writing, and comparative texts across cultures and time periods. You'll analyze existing works and develop your own writing skills rather than focusing purely on how language works. The co-op option lets you intern at publishing houses, media companies, or writing organizations while you study, which suits students who want real workplace experience alongside their degree.	You study both English literature and business together, learning to analyze texts and ideas while also building skills in management, accounting, and organizational thinking. Unlike a straight English or Business degree, this combined program lets you apply critical reading and writing to real business problems and understand how language shapes commerce and culture. It suits students who want to keep options open across both humanities and commerce, or who see writing and communication as central to business work.	This program combines business studies with social sciences — covering how companies interact with society, economics, politics, and culture. Unlike a straight business degree, you study sociology, communication, literature, and politics alongside core business courses to understand the human and social side of organizations. It suits students interested in business who also want to explore ethics, culture, and how society shapes markets.
