Major Concentrations

Major students are required to take a 36-credit program, the specific content of which differs in the three options available. Each student must choose one of these options. Faculty policy states that, after taking the 36-credit major and an 18-credit minor in another department, students may take an additional 18-credit minor in English. Such an additional minor is normally in one of the Department's Options other than that of the student's Major program; however, a student is permitted by Faculty to add an additional minor in the same Option as that of the Major program. Such an additional minor can only be constructed in close and ongoing consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

Option I - Literature (36 credits)

The Literature option provides a grounding in the basic texts and methods of the discipline as well as wide acquaintance with substantial areas of the field.

Students will complete 9 credits in required courses and 27 credits in complementary courses in the department.

See the for more information on course requirements.

---

Option II - Drama and Theatre (36 credits)

The Drama and Theatre option tries to place its subject in as broad a social and philosophical context as possible. The program is not designed to provide professional theatre training. The aim is rather to encourage students to explore the subject as a liberal arts discipline.

Students will complete 6 credits in required courses and 30 credits in complementary courses in the department.

See the for more information on course requirements.

English Department Drama Productions

Major Productions

The Department stages one Fall production and one Winter production. Students may have the guidance of semi- or professional directors, designers, and technical support according to the demands of the play, timelines, production and workload and areas of expertise of current Drama faculty and staff. Students enrolled in Scenery or Costuming courses have the opportunity to acquire intensive experience in practical pre-production work and crew work during performances for course credit. Performers are cast from Drama and Theatre majors interested in acting and others who are eligible to audition including 91直播 students from other Faculties, alumnae and 91直播 faculty and staff members. Usually the actors selected for the major productions have had a substantial range of performance activity at 91直播 or elsewhere; however, all students enrolled in Drama and Theatre courses are encouraged to audition. Acting in a major production is a non-credit activity.

Tuesday Night Cafe Theatre

The English Department Drama and Theatre Program sponsors a student-run theatre called Tuesday Night Caf茅. Small scale performances, including drama, comedy, dance, and music, are held throughout the year in the Morrice Hall Theatre.

Tuesday Night Caf茅 is a learning experience for everyone. It is designed to provide an avenue of expression for students and faculty alike and offers an opportunity to gain production experience, to explore new dimensions in playwriting, acting, and directing without the pressures and complexities associated with the scale of a major production in Moyse Hall.

For further information about Tuesday Night Caf茅, its operation and student participation, you are invited to make contact with the T.N.C. executive at tnc.foh [at] gmail.com.

Option III - Cultural Studies (36 credits)

The Cultural Studies option concentrates on analysis of forms of cultural expression and symbolic interaction, and of the various media through which these may be disseminated and transformed. Such study concerns symbolic form, aesthetically-based forms of analysis, and the various modes of criticism and theory relevant to media which contain both verbal and non-verbal elements. The aim is above all to hone students' analytical and interpretive skills while introducing them to specific critical approaches to cultural studies. This is not a major in journalism or communications; and while many of our graduates go on to do creative work in a variety of media, instruction in film and video production is not part of the curriculum.

Students will complete 9 credits in required courses and 27 credits in complementary courses in the department.

See the for more information on course requirements.

Honours

The Honours Programme in English offers exciting and enriching opportunities to explore Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, or Drama & Theatre Studies in depth. This structured, comprehensive program culminates in an honours essay on a topic chosen by the student and supervised by a faculty member. By combining independent research with advanced coursework, the program allows students to pursue their unique academic interests while developing critical thinking and scholarly skills. It prepares students not only for graduate studies but also for a variety of intellectually and creatively demanding careers.

Program Descriptions

Complementary Courses: (24 credits)

To identify courses that fulfill specific requirements, see the lists of complementary courses on the Department鈥檚 website. Joint Honours students are encouraged to take courses at the 300 level and above. A maximum of 9 credits may be taken at the 200 level, and none in the final year of the program. All Joint Honours programs of study must also include 6 credits of study at the 400 level or above.听Finally, all Joint Honours programs must include at least 3 credits of Complementary Courses taken at the 500 level. 500-level courses should be selected to have the greatest possible relevance to the student鈥檚 Honour鈥檚 Essay topic.

Note on Topics Courses: The Department of English offers courses which change topic from academic year to academic year. Depending on the topic in a specific year, these courses may count toward different program requirements for Complementary Courses. At the time they register for a topics course, students should confirm with their program adviser the program requirement it fulfils for that academic year.

Advanced Study: (9 credits--Honours Essays and 500-level courses)

Joint Honours students have three options for combining requirements for the Honours Essay and for 500-level courses.

Option 1) Honours Essay (6 credits) and 1 500-level course (3 credits);

Option 2) No Honours Essay and 3 500-level courses (9 credits);

Option 3) A 鈥渏oint鈥� Honours Essay (3 credits in English, and 3 in another department鈥檚 program) and 2 500-level courses (6 credits).

Further details on each of the above options:

Option 1) The Department of English strongly encourages all Joint Honours students to include the Honours Essay as part of their program, and the great majority of Joint Honours students do indeed choose this option鈥攃onsidering the opportunity to complete an Honours Essay among the prime benefits offered by the Joint Honours program.

Option 2) A few students each year opt not to include an Honours Essay in their program of study. This is primarily the case for a student who finds that the department of their other discipline requires that they complete the Honours Essay in that other department.

In these cases the student replaces the Honours Essay in English with 2 500-level courses, and then is also required to take another 500-level course to fulfill the Advanced Study requirement. While the Department strongly encourages students choosing this option to take 3 500-level courses, in certain special cases the Joint Honours advisor, after consulting with the student, may give permission to designate an advanced 400-level course as the equivalent of the 3^rd required 500-level course. The Joint Honours advisor will then confirm that special permission by signing the student鈥檚 Audit Sheet to that effect.

Option 3) In extremely rare cases, this third alternative may be approved at the discretion of the Joint Honours advisor: a single 鈥渏oint鈥� thesis done in two disciplines with two supervisors, with only half of the 6 credits counting towards the English Joint Honours program. Option 3 students would then need to take 2 500-level courses.
