English

The major in English, which leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, requires students to complete a series of courses that emphasize both American and British literature. Students in this program work at developing their verbal skills and at arriving at a fuller knowledge of themselves, their literary heritage, and their culture. Typically, students graduating from our program will be ready to pursue graduate studies in English or to enter a variety of professional studies such as law, business management, journalism and other fields requiring a sound preparation in liberal studies. Students who major in English must also complete a concentration offered in the department or a minor. English majors are to confer with their academic advisers regarding the choice of a minor or concentration.
