This program combines a core of traditional survey courses ? exploring the literature of England, America and Europe ? with a variety of advanced, specialized courses that focus on specific authors and periods, or on creative writing. The curriculum is designed to let students follow their strengths and interests while building a solid understanding of literary periods and moments. Whether you pursue your passion for 19th century British literature, your flair for creative writing, your talent for literary criticism or something else entirely, you?ll find engaged faculty, small classes filled with lively discussion, and exciting literary worlds.
