Bachelor of Arts in English and History Joint Major

Simon Fraser University

To study English is to study language’s fundamental role in making the world and our experience of it. To study with us is to share the classroom with a faculty that has won more teaching awards than any department at SFU, all while authoring and editing a disproportionate number of scholarly books and articles, not to mention award-winning fiction, poetry, and drama. The English program in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a major, a minor, and certificates in creative writing and in writing and rhetoric. You can start this program at the Surrey campus. History is about seeing the big picture of how and why things have changed over time. Historians study everything that humans do, from politics to sexuality to religion to work to war to social movements to science, and beyond. Studying History gives you the ability to make sense of a changing world. The History program in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a major and a minor. It also offers certificates in Hellenic Studies and in Labour Studies. You can start this program at the Surrey campus. Students who have completed a flexible pre-major with 18 lower division English transfer units have met the lower division requirements for an English major and should contact the Department of English advisor. Students wishing to major in English are strongly advised to submit a formal declaration to this effect to the undergraduate advisor upon completing all lower division requirements.
