Enhance your critical thinking, reading, and writing abilities — competencies highly valued by employers across diverse sectors including marketing, business administration, education, journalism, and research through UFV's Bachelor of Arts in English. This program equips you with the capacity to express sophisticated concepts and research outcomes, along with techniques for examining diverse texts and interpreting significant literary works across eras. During your initial two years, you'll examine and evaluate various literary works from cultures and historical periods that capture your interest. Options include immersing yourself in the demanding art of creative writing, tracing the historical development of theater and drama, or studying English language structure and usage. In your final two years, you'll refine your analytical, writing, and research capabilities while building stronger connections with faculty and classmates through seminar discussions and peer writing evaluations.
