Go beyond the page.

Our curriculum reflects both respect for intellectual traditions and an appreciation for the way those traditions have been transformed by the inclusion of other voices. As you learn how to interpret complex texts, relating them to each other and to various traditions, as well as to meaningful cultural and cross-cultural contexts, you will become an insightful reader, a perceptive critic, and an expert writer. Such skills are essential to living productive and imaginative lives, providing excellent preparation for careers in journalism, law and teaching, as well as advertising, business, public or private sector service, and even medicine, to name some of the most popular choices of those who major in literature in English.
