Windsor English (with Co-op)

University of Windsor

The published admission average for English (with Co-op) at University of Windsor is 80% for September 2027 entry, under OUAC code NAE.

You study literature, writing, and language analysis — reading novels, poetry, and essays, then writing essays and projects about them. The co-op requirement means you alternate between studying on campus and working paid placements at real employers, typically in publishing, media, communications, or education. This suits people who want to build work experience while learning English and need structure to gain professional skills alongside their degree.

What this leads to

The picture for english studies as of 2026-08-17, not a description of this particular program.

Most English Studies graduates either become secondary school English teachers (after completing a teacher certification program), or work as editors, content writers, and communications specialists at publishing houses, media outlets, and marketing firms. Some pursue ESL (English as a Second Language) teaching.

In its favour

Strong job security if you commit to teacher certification—demand is high in Ontario's schools, especially for secondary teachers
The degree itself is cheap to add credentials to: completing a teacher's certificate program after your bachelor's is a standard one-year step, not a long grad school commitment
Writing and analysis skills transfer broadly—you're not locked into English-only jobs; you can move into communications, marketing, HR, or policy analysis without retraining

Worth knowing

If you don't want to teach, your first post-grad jobs (junior editor, copy writer, content coordinator) often start around $33,000–$40,000, which is below what STEM graduates make
Routine editing and proofreading work is being automated by AI right now—over 40% of English graduates report their jobs are already affected
Teaching is your safest path, but it requires getting certified after your undergrad (the real job is still there, but you can't skip this step)
Publishing and media are shrinking industries, so non-teaching roles are increasingly competitive and may require moving to Toronto or Montreal

How AI is changing this work

AI is automating the work of junior editors and proofreaders—tools now handle basic copyediting, which is usually where English graduates start. Secondary school teaching is less threatened because classrooms still need a human to manage thirty teenagers, though AI tutoring software is changing what teachers do day-to-day. If you're entering the field in 2027, you'll need real writing ability and judgment, not just proofreading skills, to avoid being replaced by an LLM. Teaching stays the most secure option because of certification requirements and human-only licensing—but even teachers will have to learn to use AI tools in their classrooms, not resist them.
