Hons in English

English at the University of Toronto is an Honours Bachelor of Arts program offered across all three campuses: St. George, Mississauga, and Scarborough. It can be taken as a Major, Minor, or Specialist, letting students combine it with other subjects or concentrate more heavily in the discipline. The program sits within the university's Literature, Language & Culture subject grouping, described by the university as involving the analysis of complex ideas and the exploration of human expression through literature, language, philosophy, and cultural studies. At the Scarborough campus, English is offered with a work-integrated learning option, giving students the chance to pair academic study with a practical, workplace-based component. The program suits students drawn to close reading, critical writing, and the study of literary and cultural texts across periods and genres, whether as a foundation for graduate study, teaching, publishing, law, or other fields where analytical and communication skills are valued. Because it runs at three campuses, students can choose the setting, class sizes, and course mix that best fit their goals within the same degree.
