Overview

Objectives

Students in the English Literature program at Pacific University Oregon engage a wide range of texts from varied cultures, genres, historical periods, and perspectives. Pacific's Literature courses are small and intensive in order to build the skills of critical-thinking, analytical writing, and rhetorical analysis.

With the guidance and support of our Literature faculty, students read extensively across more than a thousand years of literature, engage complex concepts through sundry theoretical frameworks, and perfect the art of argumentation.

Take courses to explore the literary landscape from a range of vantage points — from the stakes illuminated by new work in disability, indigeneity, and postcolonial studies to the political and gendered sensibilities of William Shakespeare's and Oscar Wilde's stages. Work closely with professors and archivists to design significant research projects that recover lost voices of our region. Study abroad in Asia, Australia, Europe or South America; teach English in China, Korea or Japan; and study domestically with facilitated research trips to the award-winning Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
