| What it is | This program teaches you literature, writing, and how language itself works. You study novels, poetry, and essays alongside linguistics — the science of how language is structured and used. It suits people who want to understand literature deeply and are curious about language as a system, not just those who want to improve their own writing. | You study literature, language, and writing in English and other languages. The co-op option lets you alternate semesters of class with paid work terms at cultural organizations, media companies, or educational institutions, giving you real workplace experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want deep knowledge of how language and stories work and who value hands-on experience in fields like publishing, communications, or teaching. |
