BA English

The Joint Degree Program in English allows students to gain from both the St Andrews indepth and progressive approach to the study of English and the more broadbased and interdisciplinary William and Mary approach. The combined degree program in English provides distinctive opportunities for the development of writing skills, increased sensitivity to language, awareness of the aesthetic and intellectual enjoyments of literature, and an understanding of the cultural values reflected in literature. Students will be exposed to a range of historical periods and critical approaches to literature. They can also take creative writing classes.
