Bachelor of Arts - English

Program Description We speak it, read it and write it everyday. Yet many do not understand how truly empowering an education in English can be. Through examining English literature from various critical standpoints, our students learn how to become better readers, editors and writers. The ability to communicate and express oneself effectively is something highly sought after by today’s employers. Schools, businesses, industry and bureaucracies are increasingly recruiting graduates with superior communication skills, and the Department of English plays an important role in preparing students to succeed in a variety of professional careers. Since most jobs have a significant communications component, English courses also complement specializations in other subjects such as law, medicine, engineering, education, business and agriculture.
