Whether you'd like to improve your ability to understand what you read, learn to analyze and interpret any text, or improve your sense of history through literature and writing, the literature program will take you to imagined places that will enlarge your intellectual world.

Literature majors are encouraged to submit their critical essays to?Amalgam,?the student research journal, and to apply for?Endeavor Awards for Research and Creativity, which may provide funding to do advanced research at other major libraries around the country. If you are interested in learning to be an editor, or you have creative writing skills, there are internships available at?Southern Indiana Review?as well as opportunities to work on other student publications.
