Literature, B.A

The focus of the Literature program is the study and appreciation of written, oral, and visual literature. A traditional liberal arts major, Literature has always offered its students opportunities for self-knowledge and growth as they explore the ideas of great writers of the past and present. However, the Literature major is also a practical choice. Because Literature courses encourage critical thinking, clear writing, and effective communication, students that choose this major often choose careers in teaching, law, management, journalism, library science, government service, and other fields. The Literature program also offers students the opportunity to prepare for graduate study.

Literature courses may be selected to fulfill the liberal arts core requirements.
