Associate of Arts Degree - English Concentration
The Associate of Arts Degree with a Concentration in English offers small, discussion-oriented classes where students have the opportunity to think critically about English literature written in traditional and experimental modes, in a wide variety of genres and in the context of contemporary issues. Their reading could include Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, George Bowering's Changing on the Fly, Kathy Acker's My Mother: Demonology, Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient, and much more. The concentration is designed to stand alone as a two-year Associate of Arts degree or to facilitate transfer to a minor or major in English at another British Columbia university.
