The ability to communicate effectively is one of the most important skills you will ever learn.
English courses will help you to develop the thinking and writing skills you will need to do well in all your college and university courses. You will learn how to generate and organize ideas and how to interpret complex pieces of writing.
Most importantly, English courses will heighten your sensitivity to the cultural, historical, and spiritual dimensions of human life.
Planning your Major or Minor in English
Planning sheets list the specific course requirements for each major and minor in a particular academic year. These requirements can change. The courses you must take to graduate will be determined by the requirements in effect in the year you declare your major or minor.
If you declared prior to March 19, 2011, please visit the Bachelor of Arts current student website for archived planning sheets: www.MacEwan.ca/BART. Use the planning sheets in conjunction with the BA four-year program planning worksheet.
Planning your BA (Honours) in English
You are eligible for application to the Honours English program after you have completed a minimum of 30 credits (including at least six credits in English courses), 24 of which must have been completed within the last 12 months. You must present a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in these courses and a minimum GPA of 3.3 in all English courses.
Please note that entry into the program is competitive and dependent on department resources; satisfying the minimum requirements may not guarantee admission.
You should consult with the Honours Advisor regarding the requirements of the Honours degree, and to discuss your eligibility for the program.
Use the honours planning sheet in conjunction with the BA Honours four-year program planning worksheet.
