Program details

Overview

This Bachelor of Arts Joint Specialization in English and History lets students examine the same historical period through both literary and historical lenses, or pair complementary periods by topic. The program requires 30 credits in English and 30 credits in History, developing skills in critical thinking, research, writing, and rhetoric across both disciplines. Full-time study takes a minimum of three to four years (90-120 credits), depending on the student's academic background, with classes on the Sir George Williams campus and admission in the Fall or Winter term. Graduates pursue careers in education, publishing, law, public policy, and further graduate study in either English or History.
