Overview

We don’t view literary and textual studies as something you study one discipline at a time. The most powerful way to improve critical reading, thinking, and communication skills is to discover, debate, and research across the spectrum.

The challenging, diverse curriculum of the English (Literary and Textual Studies) program from York College of Pennsylvania covers cultural studies, film, literature, rhetoric, creating writing, and philosophy. You’ll also be able to specialize in one of four tracks of focus — comparative literary studies, film and media studies, critical and cultural theory, and women and gender studies.
