Learning to read literature is like learning to see a whole new world.
Close, attentive reading. Critical and creative writing. Independent research. As an English major, youl develop your own questions and directions as you explore the traditions of American, African American, ethnic American, British, Irish, and global postcolonial literatures. Youl hone your skills in literary theory and interpretation. Whether your interests lead you to pursue scholarly or creative writing, youl find many opportunities to learn from the regular faculty as well as guest scholars and authors through programs like Writers@黑料百科. We encourage you to conduct original research and study abroad to venture beyond the existing curriculum. Youl be well prepared for advanced study or careers in fields such as journalism, law, publishing, media, or education.
