School of Arts & Language

Welcome to the School of Arts & Language. Our core focus is academic, professional, and business communication as well as humanities, social science, and research and evaluation studies.

Our college-based curriculum

Many of the essential mandatory and ministry-directed elective courses required for most diploma and degree courses at the college are coordinated through our school and delivered by our faculty.

WRIT: Reason and writing curriculum

WRIT is designed to help students succeed in becoming functional, competent communicators at work, at school, and in life. Our faculty introduce students to essential principles of reading, writing, and reasoning at the post secondary level.

COMM: Communications curriculum

At Fanshawe, the importance of professional and work-related communication is reinforced by the inclusion of at least one COMM course in most programs in addition to WRIT.

GenEd: General education electives

Our elective courses provide students with learning opportunities that broaden their knowledge about the world beyond their vocational programs through a roster of unique and multidisciplinary courses.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program

EAP is a full-time program designed for both international and domestic students (Canadian citizens and permanent residents). Fanshawe’s EAP program provides a direct route from English language learning to post-secondary studies with no further language testing required.

The EAP program includes 10 eight-week levels (two EAP levels per college semester) delivered by 15 full-time and 20+ part-time professors. Students start at the level indicated by their placement test. In order to progress to the next EAP level, students must achieve a minimum of 70%.
