For Undergraduate Students

The Centre for Humanities offers a rich variety of Undergraduate English courses. Students can take individual courses, earn  a minor or a Bachelor of Arts in English (three– and four–year degrees) or a minor or Bachelor of Arts in Canadian Studies (four–year degree).

Courses span a wide range of topics from remedial writing skills to creative writing, from children’s literature, to drama, to theory, to individualized reading and research. The undergraduate English program is particularly strong in Canadian literature.

In partnership with Master of Arts - Integrated Studies, we offer a growing number of graduate-level English courses and related integrated-study (MAIS) courses as well as individual courses. See Literary Studies.
