What Will You Learn

In reading historical, American, and international literature, you will hone your skills in recognizing recurrent themes, tropes, and images.

It will teach you how to prioritize (which of these patterns matter and why?) and interpret (if this matters to the text, what can be learned from it?).

Unlike other art forms in which your view is from the outside, in literature your eye is the narrative’s "I" and you discover what it is like to see from the perspective of someone else.

Beyond your major, publishing, teaching, law, library science, and other careers draw upon the skills you will gain from critical thinking.

The emphasis on textual analysis is also useful when paired with political or business interests and even medical research; our literary studies Race, Power, and Perspective courses relate to community activism, international development, and humanitarianism; and our specialized work in seeing from other points of view is an asset in any field in which you need to collaborate.
