• Course description
  Coursework in the Literature major is designed to develop and improve the student’s capacity to engage in meaningful interpretation, creative writing, analytical thought and aesthetic appreciation. Majors and non-majors alike will have the
  opportunity to gain an awareness of the intellectual and historical contexts of literature while they work to achieve skillful written and oral expression, and to refine critical thinking skills.
  
  Requirements for the Literature Major
  
  A major in English and World Literature requires the satisfactory completion of ten (10) courses, which may include senior seminars and independent study courses. Six (6) courses should be completed prior to the senior year. Majors are also
