Program Details

English Studies School: Nipissing University Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: English Language and Literature, General Description: Why study literature (e.g., novels, films, political pamphlets, theatrical performances, graphic arts)? Literature is variously a medium of argument and persuasion, a body of myth, aspirational fantasy, self-delusion, propaganda, and reason. Ours is a study of how and what these texts mean to the culture in which they participate. The skills we develop (hallmarks of the discipline) include critical thinking, clear communication, a sensitivity to nuance of ideas and their presentation, and an empathic imagination. English Studies is one of the largest programs at Nipissing University; this is a testament to what we do and how well our degree offerings pair with/prepare students for other departments’ offerings; it is also a reflection of how well prepared students are for whatever subsequent career choices they make with an English degree in hand.
