Year One Foundation Program - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts - English (Honors) (Optional Co-op)

By studying English, students will explore the richness of literature and language to help understand, interpret, and appreciate what novels, songs, poems, memoirs, images, films, and new media tell us about our contemporary culture and the social and creative worlds of our past. Students will learn from award winning and internationally renowned professors and researchers who will help students discover, think, and see in new ways. Students will have access to courses spanning Renaissance, Victorian, Canadian, and Indigenous literature, as well as creative writing, film studies, and new media. Through the Arts Work Experience (AWE), students may be matched with and employer for hands-on, career-building partnerships.

This major can also be taken as part of a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Arts honors is designed to foster a tight-knit community of academic-minded undergraduate students who can come together to share ideas, work collaboratively, get mentorship from their upper-year peers, and access more specialized supports from their department and faculty teams at every stage of their studies.

Taking part in an honors program is the best way to dip a toe into the research process, develop connections with professors and other academics, and get a taste of what graduate school may have in store while completing an undergraduate degree. 

When combined with potential research projects, Honors students can narrow down an area of specialization much earlier than they would otherwise.
