Programs

The Department of English offers a wide range of courses on literature, culture studies, and drama and theatre. Our literature curriculum covers national and world literatures across historical periods and genres, as well as theory. The drama and theatre curriculum includes courses in dramatic literature, performance theory, and also on practical aspects of theatrical performance. Courses in cultural studies examine film and a variety of visual media from a historical or theoretical perspective. These streams are integrally related, and all students are encouraged to do work in all three while pursuing an honours or major degree in one.

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 II - Drama and Theatre (36 credits)

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 成人VR视频 students from other Faculties, alumnae and 成人VR视频 faculty and staff members. Usually the actors selected for the major productions have had a substantial range of performance activity at 成人VR视频 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.

The Cultural Studies Major program is changing in 2011-2012. If you are new to this program in 2011-2012, or if you have yet to take ENGL 276 Methods of Cultural Analysis, you are no longer required to take ENGL 276, but will instead be required to take 3 credits from a list of theory-related courses at the 400-level.

  • ENGL 275* (Fall) Introduction to Cultural Studies (3 cr.)
  • ENGL 277* (Fall) Introduction to Film Studies (3 cr.)

  4. Three credits from a list of theory-related courses at the 400-level
  5. Six credits from a list of courses in Cultural Studies with a historical dimension
  6. Nine additional credits from the option's offerings

Permission to count extra-departmental credits must be obtained in advance of taking any course from outside the Department of English. Students are normally permitted to count 6 credits from other departments towards their Cultural Studies Major. Permission is obtained with the signature of a Department of English program advisor on the student's program audit sheet.

Program Requirements

Entry to Honours is by application, normally after two terms in a Departmental program, including at least 18 credits of English. The Faculty of Arts requires that all students admitted to Honours programs complete a second program minor in addition to their Honours program.听

Admission to the Honours program is limited to a small number of students with excellent records. The minimum CGPA for application to the Honours program is 3.30. Students with a CGPA lower than 3.3 and at or above 3.0 (but with the requisite 3.5 program GPA) may consult the Director of the Honours program for special permission to apply. Students with a program GPA lower than 3.5 and at or above 3.3 (but with the requisite CGPA of 3.3) may also consult the Director of the Honours program for special permission to apply. In neither instance is admission guaranteed. After admission into the Honours program, the student is required to maintain a CGPA at a level set by the Faculty for graduation with Honours and a program GPA at the level set by the Department.听

The Honours program in English requires 54 credits. Students intending to apply for Honours should plan to complete as many of the specific requirements of their option as possible within the first two years. With the written approval of an adviser, up to 9 credits may be taken outside the Department. All Honours students must complete at least 6 of their complementary credits at the 500 level. Ideally, 500-level seminars chosen will be relevant to the area of the student's independent study in the Honours Essay course (ENGL 491D1/ENGL 491D2); all these courses are usually taken in the final year of the program. The Honours Essay is first planned in consultation with a supervisor at the time of application to the Honours program; it is then guided and evaluated by that supervisor during the completion of听ENGL 491. Graduation with Honours requires 54 credits of English, a minimum mark of B+ on the Honours Essay, a minimum CGPA of 3.00, and a minimum program GPA of 3.50. Graduation with First Class Honours requires a mark of A on the Honours Essay, a minimum CGPA of 3.50, and a minimum program GPA of 3.70.

Joint-Honours

Students who wish to study at the Honours level in two Arts disciplines may apply to combine Joint Honours program components from two Arts disciplines. For a list of available Joint Honours programs, see "Overview of Programs Offered" and "Joint Honours Programs." Applications to do a Joint Honours program in English and another subject in the Faculty of Arts should be submitted once a minimum of 9 credits, and no more than 18 credits, have been completed in English. There are normally two possible application dates for Joint Honours in English: either by the end of January (by which time first-term courses are completed and the grades are available), or by the Honours application deadline, which is usually May 15. (Only students who will have completed more than 18 credits in English by the end of January may apply in the Fall.) The minimum CGPA for application to the Joint Honours program is 3.30.听Students with a CGPA lower than 3.3 and at or above 3.0 (but with the requisite 3.5 program GPA) may consult the Director of the Honours program for special permission to apply. Students with a program GPA lower than 3.5 and at or above 3.3 (but with the requisite CGPA of 3.3) may also consult the Director of the Honours program for special permission to apply. The application form is available in the Department's General Office (Arts 155), and the specific submission requirements are described by that form. (The application form may also be downloaded from the 鈥淎pplication鈥� section below.)

The maintenance of a 3.50 program GPA is required for continuation in Joint Honours. Graduation with Joint Honours requires a minimum CGPA of 3.00, a minimum program GPA of 3.50, and a minimum mark of B+ on the Honours Essay. Graduation with First Class Joint Honours in English requires a minimum CGPA of 3.50, a minimum program GPA of 3.70, and a minimum mark of A on the Honours Essay.

Each academic year, there is a special adviser for Joint Honours students, and the receptionist in the General Office can provide their name and contact information. The Department's website provides additional information on the Joint Honours program and applications, and this website should also be consulted prior to contacting the Adviser.

Application

Admission to Joint Honours is by application. You can download a copy of the form here听or pick up a hard copy in the听Department's General Office Office (Arts 155). The specific submission requirements are described by that form, as well as听below. The application will take some time to prepare, and allowance for such preparation (at least several weeks) must be made in order to meet the application deadline. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

The application form requires these submissions:

  1. A one-page statement providing the rationale for combining English and the other discipline in terms of a specific interest to be pursued through the combined program. If you intend to include the Honours Essay (ENGL 491) in your English program, as the Department of English strongly prefers that you do, state your current idea for the topic and explain how the other discipline will complement it.
  2. A sample of your academic writing (6-8 pages).
  3. A completed Program Course Proposal/Graduation Audit Sheet for your intended English option (Literature, Cultural Studies, or Drama and Theatre). Courses should be selected to complement your one-page statement of rationale.
  4. An outline of the program of study in the other discipline to be combined with your intended English option.

Acceptance into Joint Honours English may be conditional on particular revisions to the Program Course Proposal to be submitted with the application form. This proposal will be kept on file for each applicant in the departmental records for Joint Honours. Only course choices that are appropriate, given the nature of the Joint Honours program proposed, including the Honours Essay if applicable, will be approved. In order to graduate with Joint Honours, all subsequent course substitutions in your initially approved Joint Honours English program must be endorsed by the Joint Honours advisor when they are made (i.e., at the start of each term) and entered on your Program Course Proposal/Graduation Audit Sheet with the advisor's initialled approval. Students who neglect to obtain such approvals jeopardize their graduation.

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 3rd 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.
