What it isYou study a broad mix of human culture, history, and society through disciplines like anthropology, literature, drama, area studies, and food studies. Unlike a specialized honours program, this option lets you combine subjects freely and explore different fields before deciding on a focus. It suits students curious about people, ideas, and culture who want flexibility and the chance to gain work experience through co-op placements.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.A BA Honours at Guelph lets you specialize in one of nine humanities and social science subjects — from English to Economics to Fine Art — while completing a standard four-year degree. The co-op option integrates paid work terms into your studies, letting you gain professional experience in your field alongside classroom learning. This suits students who want depth in a particular subject and prefer learning through both study and real-world application.
