Join our tight-knit literary community. Better understand yourself and the world through stories — tools for self-reflection, creative thinking and problem solving. Challenge yourself to think deeply and write clearly in small, supportive and inclusive classes taught by award-winning professors. Prepare yourself to live in a complex world by studying the texts that anchor diverse histories, from Beowulf to Bollywood, Jane Austen novels to comic books, and Shakespearean plays to Indigenous drama. Pursue your love of creative writing in workshops taught by published authors and share your work with your peers in student-led writers’ circles and open mic events. Specialized concentrations in Creative Writing and Drama Studies are available. A Co-op option allows you to combine your studies with valuable, paid work experience in the nation’s capital. Our Co-op students frequently find employment with the federal government, Ottawa’s high-tech sector or national institutions.
