Ringkasan program

The literature concentration provides students with an in-depth background in British and American literature and a foundation in the methods and practices of literary studies. By taking courses in a variety of literary periods and genres, English majors concentrating in literature gain rich exposure to literary history and to the texts, movements, authors, and cultural forces that constitute it. In addition, students in the literature concentration are trained in analysis and interpretation, the uses of literary theory, and the complex organizational and verbal skills involved in critical writing. Students who receive a grade of A or B in English 398 are eligible to enroll in English 498 (Senior Honors Thesis). The senior honors thesis allows a student in the honors program to work on an independent creative or research project under the guidance of two members of the faculty. In addition to a thesis on a literary topic, students may elect to write a creative thesis involving poetry, fiction, or drama. Students in the past have also proposed and completed honors theses in rhetoric and technical communications. In order to receive the designation "Honors" in English on their transcripts, a student must have a 3.0 GPA or better, a 3.5 or better GPA in English courses, and grades of A or B in English 398 and 498.
