What it is	English Literature is the study of novels, poems, plays, and essays from different time periods and cultures. You analyze how writers use language and structure to create meaning and explore human experience. This program suits students who enjoy close reading, writing essays about texts, and discussing different interpretations of stories.	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 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.	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.
