A minor in English Language/Literature is useful as a second teachable subject for students choosing to pursue a career in teaching at either the elementary or the secondary level, or for students wishing to undertake graduate studies. More generally, an English minor provides students with valuable tools to hone their reading and writing skills as they seek to position themselves in their Art and Design studio practices and enrich their studies at OCAD University.
Note: If planning on using this minor for English as a second teachable, consult with the teaching program you will be attending for specific course requirements, which may vary from those listed.
Not all courses are offered every year. Please consult the 2013/2014 schedule for up to date current offerings.
