Honours Bachelor of Arts Asian Literatures and Cultures

The Asian Literatures and Cultures Major offers a diverse and flexible program for students interested in the study of Asian languages, cultures, and literatures. While language proficiency and some courses in literature or culture are required, students have considerable freedom within the major to make course selections based on their own areas of interest. Students may either study a national literature in depth in the original language or focus more broadly on culture, history, and literature using texts in English translation. They may also choose between concentrating on one national literature and cultural tradition or including other Asian literatures and cultures.
