Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature, Media, and Writing (4 Years)

The major in English Literature, grounded in literary criticism and theory, develops students interpretive and communicative skills. We offer courses in Indigenous literatures and rhetorics, documentary filmmaking, creative writing, science and health communication, postcolonial studies, children's literature, detective fiction, environmental communication, women's writing, critical theory, Gothic literature, Canadian literature, and early modern literature. The Department organizes various extracurricular events including the Dbaajmawak Indigenous Writers Series featuring renowned authors such as Maria Campbell and Richard Van Camp. The Department's literary journal Sulphur is edited and published by the English Arts Society.

The program in Rhetoric and Media Studies is based on rhetorical theory, which is the study of how people use language to affect other people and the world around them. It develops students abilities to critique and to craft written, oral, and visual texts in various genres of filmmaking, public discourse, professional communication, and literary composition. We offer a rich range of courses for critical study, creative work, and professional practice. Each year, student excellence in filmmaking, professional communication, and creative writing is celebrated through various awards and public events.
