Bachelor of Arts - English (Optional Co-op) (UH)

We offer you a chance to explore language and narrative in print and electronic media. Our vibrant program allows you to develop your critical reading, analytical and writing skills in preparation for working in a globally connected world. You'll learn the practice of effective communication and other keys to professional success in careers as diverse as education, law, politics, and public relations. 

Our innovative classrooms emphasize active learning in small group settings where you'll study literary and film texts drawn from the breadth of English-speaking cultures. Taught by scholars who are internationally recognized researchers, teachers and award-winning writers, our courses include British, Canadian, American, Indigenous and World literatures that participate in conversations that have endured over thousands of years, and which continue to fascinate our contemporary world via the screen and page.

Our students have frequent opportunities to connect with visiting writers-in-residence and award-winning instructors, writers and poets. You can also join the English Student Association and take part in regular academic and social events with students in the program.
