English

The English Major offers a comprehensive study of writing from ancient to contemporary cultures. Students are encouraged to explore complex texts and to develop their thinking, writing and reading skills, all of which are essential for numerous professions in the Information Age and for future literary studies.The Department of English, through the Writing Centre and various research projects, has employed students in editing, researching and tutoring. The Department also sponsors informal groups devoted to reading and writing, such as TRU Fiction, the universityпПХs creative writing group, and hosts readings and lectures which afford students the opportunity to hear novelists, poets and other writers present their work and offer advice to student writers. All of these activities reflect the dynamic creative nature of English studies at TRU.
