Overview

Objectives

The Literature program of Claremont McKenna College consists of a two-course survey of the principal writers of British literature, usually taken in the sophomore year; an intensive course in the history of literary criticism, usually taken in the junior year; one course focusing on the work of a single British or American author; one course in American literature; and a set of four electives, two unrestricted and two distributed by period. Literature majors should have an advisor in the department, or regularly consult with a member of the department as they are planning their courses.

Features

The Literature department is strongly committed to helping students improve their writing. All first-year students take FWS 010 CM, a one-semester course in composition and literary analysis, or an approved alternative.
