Program Summary

Are you interested in other people, their lives and
ideas?

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Do you love words and stories? Literature invites you
to participate in experiences and ideas beyond your
own and grants you access to some of history's and
today's most imaginative minds. Studying English is a
great place to start if you are interested in exploring
philosophy, history, psychology, religion, anthropology,
sociology or politics. You can also continue towards
an associate of arts degree in English at Selkirk (two
years) and then a bachelor of arts degree in English
(two more years at a university).
