This undergraduate program leads to an Honours Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Ottawa's Department of English. The curriculum covers all major historical periods and national traditions of literature in English, alongside courses in creative writing and literary theory, and general-interest courses on topics such as literature and film, children's literature, science fiction, graphic novels, and literature and the environment. The program lays a foundation for graduate studies in English and also serves as preparation for professional degrees in fields such as law, business and education. It totals 120 units over four years of full-time study, is offered in English only, and includes a co-operative education option that combines academic coursework with paid work terms related to the field of study.
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.
