Faculty of Arts
Read widely. Think critically. Write creatively.
Program Overview
We provide a unique environment for English Studies in Canada.
The English Literature, Media, and Writing program offers students a unique blend of critical engagement and creative practice in a wide range of imaginative and persuasive writing. We provide three ELMW program paths (Specialization, Major, and Minor), which you can combine with other programs in Arts and Sciences.
As a student in our program, you will develop your ability to read insightfully and write thoughtfully about the complex worlds depicted in diverse literary media – from dystopian fiction, Indigenous film and storytelling, and environmental literature to medieval and modern drama, graphic novels, contemporary women’s writing, and video game narratives.
At the same time, you will develop your ability to craft your own writing in creative and sophisticated ways through composition-focused courses in poetry and fiction, science and environmental communication, oral traditions, documentary filmmaking, podcasting, and playwriting.
Inspired by the real-world questions, problems, and possibilities that you encounter in what you read and watch, you will work closely with faculty members and other students to compose imaginative and research-informed responses to these concerns.
You also will have the opportunity to edit and publish in our student-run literary journal and to have your work recognized through our annual awards for essay writing, filmmaking, professional communication, and creative writing.
Learn to write well-researched and insightful essays and analyses – a fundamental skill in many fields and careers.
Master critical reading and creative production – central aptitudes in the attention-based, digital media economy.
Take English literature and composition as teachable subjects for a degree in Education.

What I love about Laurentian is that not only is the campus beautiful, but it is the right size so that you can get to know your professors. What I enjoy most about my program is that the classes are usually smaller, and some of them are workshop-based. This has allowed me to get to know my professors and feel comfortable asking questions. What is unique about my program is that it combines literature with creative writing and media studies. I recommend Laurentian’s English program to anyone who is interested in smaller classes, supportive teachers, and engaging courses!

More About The Program
Programs in English Literature, Media, and Writing (ELMW) include a Specialization (60 credits of ENGL courses), Major (42 credits of ENGL courses), Minor (24 credits of ENGL courses), and 3-year Concentration (36 credits of ENGL courses). These programs provide a unique environment for English Studies in Canada by foregrounding the integral relationship between compositional and critical-reading practices. Students take a combination of Case-based and Practice-based courses, as well as four Core courses to fulfill the ELMW program requirements.
Core courses are ENGL 2056: Texts in Historical Context, ENGL 2057: Critical Reading and Textual Analysis, ENGL 3056: Texts in Modern and Contemporary Contexts, and ENGL 3057: Introduction to Critical Theories.
Case-based courses focus on developing students’ analytical and critical reading skills. These courses concentrate on students’ instruction in and practice of different methods of textual analysis as applied to a variety of genres and/or media (for example, poetry, novels, plays, essays, films, and public discourse). The texts studied in these courses are grouped by historical period, theme, and/or geographic location.
Practice-based courses focus on developing students’ compositional practices. These courses concentrate on students’ learning and experimenting with practices central to particular writing genres and/or media (for example, non-fiction, environmental communication, science writing, documentary film-making, poetry, short fiction, and oral storytelling).
