What it isEnglish Literature is the study of novels, poems, plays, and essays from different time periods and cultures.

This program suits students who enjoy close reading, writing essays about texts, and discussing different interpretations of stories.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.A Bachelor of Arts is a three- or four-year undergraduate degree where you study subjects in the humanities, social sciences, or sciences — at Laurier Brantford, that means choices like English, anthropology, computer science, creative writing, or environmental studies. You can focus on one major or combine two. This program suits students who want broad knowledge across disciplines and enjoy writing, analysis, and critical thinking rather than hands-on lab or professional training.
