 Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
Students in the Literature major pursue courses that provide both a broad foundation in the history of literature in English, as well as in-depth study of particular periods, genres, and styles. Core courses in British, American, and World literature provide knowledge of the literary tradition, in addition to skill in literary and cultural analysis and criticism. Electives focusing on a wide range of literary topics enable students to learn much more about the historical periods and cultural contexts from which literature has come, and the ways in which it has influenced our understanding of the world in which we live.
Students who elect to pursue teacher certification through our English education program receive special instruction in teaching methods and philosophy through the English department (in addition to their required coursework in the department of inclusive childhood education). In order to be eligible for the Professional Semester (student teaching), students are required to have a minimum GPA of 2.7 before moving into INCL 440/441 and the Professional Semester.
