Program details

Overview

This undergraduate program leads to a specialized Honours BA in Lettres françaises from the University of Ottawa, offered entirely in French. The 120-unit curriculum spans three areas: literary studies covering writing from France, Quebec, French-speaking Ontario, and other francophone communities, examined through critical and theoretical approaches; language courses developing syntax, vocabulary, and style; and creative-writing workshops led by writers-in-residence and faculty. The University of Ottawa's Département de français is among the few Canadian university departments offering both a master's and a PhD in creative writing, giving graduates a pathway into advanced study in the discipline. Co-operative education, alternating academic terms with paid work terms in the field, is available with this program. Teaching-pathway options within the program are currently under review.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Ontario secondary-school applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U) as the only subject prerequisite; no other Grade 12 course is required. The published minimum admission average is 75%, calculated from the applicant's top six 4U/4M/DU grades including the language prerequisite. This line covers the great majority of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Sciences programs at the University of Ottawa, including single-subject majors, Honours variants, joint-honours combinations of two Arts or Social Sciences disciplines, and the general Interdisciplinary Studies (BA/BSocSc) credentials. Some programs in this group carry an additional stream (French Immersion, Co-op, or an In-Depth Experiential Learning Stream) that does not change the academic admission line. Meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission where a program is oversubscribed. Applicants completing Environmental Studies without Biology 4U are advised to take a replacement course in first year.
