Faculty teaching courses that fulfill the requirements for degree programs in Language and Logic are listed in the "Officers of Instruction" for the areas of English, Classical and Modern Languages, Literatures, and Civilizations, French, Philosophy, and other subject areas in Arts and Social Sciences.

The Bachelor of Arts four-year Honours program in Language and Logic provides students with a specialization in the theory and practice of effective, reasoned communications, combined with a well-rounded liberal arts education. To acquire this specialized knowledge and skills, students will have a solid foundation in the theory of language, of reasoning and logic, of communication, of English composition, speech, and rhetoric. Students will also have practical skills in reasoning and writing, in current computer technologies, and in a second language.

In addition, to acquire a solid liberal arts education, students will select courses from a broad range of subjects outside of the program. Academic advising should be obtained from a program advisor in English Language and Literature.
