This 90-credit undergraduate program combines a 60-credit major in letters with a 30-credit certificate or minor chosen from another discipline, leading to a Bachelor's degree with a Major in Letters. The major has two components: methods of textual analysis and literary interpretation, and literary culture, covering the history of French and Quebec literature across all periods alongside foreign literatures and contemporary literary issues. Coursework builds skills in close reading, critical analysis, and academic and creative writing. Applicants select the letters major during UQAR's online admission process and apply separately for the complementary minor or certificate component that completes the degree. The program is nominally completed in three years of full-time study, preparing graduates for careers in publishing, communications, teaching, and cultural fields, or for further study in literature.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UQAR does not publish major-specific prerequisite courses or minimum grade/cote R thresholds for the Bachelor with Major in Letters. Admission follows the university's general Baccalaureat avec majeure structure: applicants apply separately for the 60-credit letters major and for the 30-credit certificate or minor that completes the 90-credit degree (simultaneous admission to both is possible under specific regulations), selecting the letters major on the online application. All applicants are subject to UQAR's general policy on mastery of the French language. Admitted students holding a Diplome d'etudes collegiales (DEC) with a cote R of 27 or higher qualify for a welcome scholarship, rising for a cote R of 31 or higher.
