Bachelor in English

Offered By: Ottawa University

Ottawa University's Bachelor of English degree encourages students to relate literary insights to their own lives as they become productive, sensitive, and ethical problem-solvers. They reflect on their values and discover what it means to be a socially responsible citizen. They are exposed to varied world views and learn to respect diversity and the opinions of others.

The Bachelor of English promotes understanding, analysis, and evaluation of a wide range of authors, characters, themes, plots, and styles in world literature. Through varied approaches to literary criticism, students learn to appreciate the ways in which creative writing can capture the essence of the human condition. By identifying the techniques and impacts of successful writers, students develop their expressive abilities, identify important personal issues, increase empathy for others, and discover their own voices and styles through the written word.
