What it is	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.	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.	A Business and Arts program combines study in two fields: one from business, accounting, or economics, and one from humanities or social sciences like English, anthropology, or environmental studies. Unlike a single-subject honours degree, you earn one honours diploma by completing substantial coursework in both areas rather than specializing deeply in one. This suits students who want broad knowledge across different disciplines and are curious about how business intersects with culture, society, or the environment.
