BA English Individualized Program

The Literature concentration provides students with an in-depth background in British and American literature and a foundation in the methods and practices of literary studies. By taking courses in a variety of literary periods and genres, English majors concentrating in literature gain rich exposure to literary history and to the texts, movements, authors, and cultural forces that constitute it. In addition, students are trained in analysis and interpretation, the uses of literary theory, and the complex organizational and verbal skills involved in critical writing.
