The Departments of Gender, Sexuality, Women's Studies and English share overlapping focuses on gender, sexuality, and women's topics. This combined major caters to students passionate about these subjects. We advise consulting with faculty advisors from both departments when designing your academic path.
Language shapes reality. Explore the realm of ideas through literary study. Expand your understanding of linguistic expression, literary works, and composition. Examine how writing both mirrors and influences society. Cultivate analytical, innovative, and profound thinking. Engage in discussions, advocate for, polish, and debate your perspectives with peers.
Our English Department provides diverse courses spanning the full scope of English scholarship - from Historical Texts to Fiction Crafting, Performance Arts to Composition Studies, Early English to Contemporary Verse, and classic authors like Shakespeare and Chaucer to modern Indigenous, Colonial, and Migrant narratives.
If you've completed, or are about to complete, your grade 12 or senior year in a Canadian, American, or international high school.
