The composition and literature sequence emphasizes writing, reading, and critical thinking skills; students also receive instruction in the forms of discourse and literary genres. The world literature sequence, required of all Bachelor of Arts students, examines world texts in their historical and cultural contexts. A broad range of elective offerings, open to students of all academic disciplines, provides examination of traditional periods and authors as well as emerging literary forms. Specialty courses also include literature of the developing world, of leadership, of American culture and ethnicity, and of the military. A variety of writing courses, both technical and creative, introduces and strengthens rhetorical skill.
Because the English major demands that its students write and speak clearly and precisely about historical and contemporary ideas, it provides a solid basis for many professions and occupations, including law, medicine, teaching, communications, business and government, graduate study, and military service. In addition, many students find that the English major provides excellent preparation for post-graduate study in a variety of fields.
