BA/BS in English and French Literatures

The English and French Literatures joint major is an interdepartmental Bachelor of Arts program offered by the Department of English and the Department of French within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, exploring connections between the two literary traditions. Students complete 120 units, including at least 60 at Simon Fraser University and at least 45 upper-division units. The French component begins with FREN 245 (Introduction to French and Francophone Studies), followed by 21 upper-division French units, at least six of which are at the 400 level. The English component follows the standard English major's lower-division requirement of two 100-level courses, plus 20 upper-division units, a minimum of four at the 400 level and four focused on Canadian or Indigenous literatures. Students must satisfy the university's writing, quantitative and breadth requirements, and maintain an overall and program cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0. An accelerated master's option is available to eligible students.
