For a major, take just 10 courses beyond the requirements:

  • American Literature
  • British Literature I
  • British Literature II
  • Advanced Composition/Creative Writing
  • History of the English Language
  • Shakespeare
  • Literary Criticism
  • Three English electives
  • Students who major in English receive a well-balanced curriculum that emphasizes language, literature, writing, research, and oral communication.
