The English language is central to the way billions of people work, play, think and relate to one another. The English program at Cape Breton University teaches students to become an expert user of the language, understanding the history and applications in all its linguistically splendid detail and nuance. A big part of that nuance will come from understanding humanity’s richest literary tradition, engaging with some of the world’s most profound imaginations. Studying English means learning to think not just critically, but curiously and courageously. It’s opening students' eyes to cutting-edge ideas while also being skeptical and analytical. Studying English means coming to understand the way an individual's language shapes them, their societies and even their physical environment. An individual can study how they can use language – and its texts – to understand their past, to remake themselves and to understand the world around them. *Please note: Cape Breton is implementing a Tuition Deposit Policy.
