Licence ès Lettres en Anglais

The aim of the Division of Languages and Literature is to provide high-quality instruction in the study of literature, composition, English pedagogy, communication, philosophy, and foreign languages in order to develop critically literate scholars, writers, and educators prepared to engage a global society.

The Division offers courses to introduce the general student to effective written and oral communication in English and foreign languages, the appreciation and critical analysis of literature, as well as creative expression and philosophical inquiry. Upper-level courses provide the necessary subject matter concentration for students preparing for careers or graduate work in the humanities in one of three content area concentrations: literature, creative writing, and philosophy.
