Associate of Arts Degree in English (Writing Studies)

The Associate of Arts degree in English (Writing Studies) is designed for students who wish to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, but also want to incorporate a strong focus on writing into their curriculum.

The program provides two years of university transferable courses that fulfill most or all of the requirements to enter the third year of a Major or Honours program in English. In addition, it emphasizes writing: literary criticism, communications, freelance writing, or imaginative writing in fiction, poetry, non-fiction and drama. Students will develop a portfolio of their work and learn to prepare manuscripts for publication.

Selkirk College recently concluded an agreeement with Royal Roads University to facilitate block transfer for qualified students into the third year of the Bachelor of Arts in Professional Communication at Royal Roads University.
