Bachelor of Arts in World Literature (Honours)

Simon Fraser University

This program, intended for outstanding students who wish to study world literature beyond the major program’s course work, requires concentrated research and writing on a topic that has been approved by the department.Entry to the program is competitive, and by application. Only a small number of students are admitted each year. Along with the requirements listed below, the core of the program is the honours essay, produced across two courses occurring in subsequent terms: WL 480 (4) in which the student completes and formalizes their research, and WL 490 (4) in which the actual essay is composed and edited.
