As a student in the English program, you will explore an array of literary genres and develop creative and interpretive skills. Our program provides comprehensive historical coverage to expand students' writing skills, and analysis and argumentation to express ideas clearly and effectively. English literature courses cover literature from the medieval period to the present and provide instruction in theoretical approaches and critical methods. Courses in film, theatre and creative writing are also offered. The honours program offers a rigorous examination of a particular subject area for those who desire a more specialized undergraduate preparation. This is the preferred program for students who wish to continue their education at the graduate level. Students normally enter the program after first year, although you may be eligible to enter the program later in your undergraduate studies. To earn a BA Honours degree, a student must successfully complete 120 credit hours with a minimum grade point average of 3.00 in all courses. Students in the honours program do not complete a major and a minor, but rather an honours subject, or two subjects in the case of a double honours program. The program differs from the advanced program by requiring more courses in the honours field and by providing a greater intensity and depth of study. Students should apply to enter the honours program only after successfully completing a minimum of 24 credit hours of coursework. You can complete the honours program on a part-time basis.
