Bachelor of Arts in English (Hons)

The University of Winnipeg

The Honours program is offered for students who especially enjoy the serious study of literature and culture and who wish to develop both breadth and depth in their English degrees. Honours courses are designed to allow for more intensive student participation in the study of a wide range of subjects, including critical theory, women's writing, cultural studies, national literatures, historical periods, and individual authors and topics. While students have some flexibility in choosing their paths through the Honours program, the requirements ensure that all students graduate with an overall sense of the field of literary and textual studies.The Honours program is delivered mainly through small seminars and provides solid advantages to students planning to pursue a graduate degree in English or a related discipline, such as Cultural Studies, Journalism, Communications and Media Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and Library and Information Management. We regularly support Honours students through the application process for MA degrees, professional programs, and external scholarships. We have had many successful placements in graduate programs nationally and internationally. Honours courses are also open to any qualified students who want a more personal and interactive education, or who wish to pursue a topic of particular interest.
