University of Lethbridge
Many students enter university hoping to learn more
about the English language and literature in hopes of broadening their
reading and writing skills. The study of literature also strengthens
critical thinking and analytical skills, making students better equipped
to handle both everyday and academic situations. The University of
Lethbridge offers a few options for those interested in studying
literature and creative writing.
A bachelor of arts degree in English literature is
offered through this university, requiring students to take 40 courses.
This includes a minimum of 13 courses for the student's major.
Students may take a maximum of 20 courses in a variety of literature areas, focusing on
things such as genre literature, children's
literature, Canadian literature, old and middle English, and renaissance
literature.
In
addition, the English Department offers two creative writing courses. An
intermediate course, English 3800 and an advanced course, English 4800
give students an opportunity to write and critique the work of others.
Independent courses in creative writing are available although these
courses are not counted towards the minimum of 13 courses for the major.
Independent courses are counted as options but are beneficial for English
majors, since they allow students a chance to work on projects that
interest them with the help of a professor.
The
University of Lethbridge has a unique program entitled the 'Professional
Certificate in New Media Technology'. Through this program, students learn
about all aspects of new media including writing for new media,
drawing/illustration, web/print design principles, computer graphics,
animation and special effects. Various types of writing, including writing for television,
interactive media, web authoring, and commercials are covered.
