Simon Fraser University Department of English

The Department of English offers more than 150 courses. Our course offerings cover the spectrum of English studies, from Old English and Shakespeare to contemporary Canadian and Asian North American literature.

We also offer comprehensive distance education courses and cooperative education opportunities. Students can choose from various program options, or enrol in one of our joint major programs with Communications, French, Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies (GSWS), History, and Humanities.

The English Department gives students the opportunity to participate in field schools, to work with the Department’s writer-in-residence, and even to assist faculty with research.
