Overview

Through associated instruction in a foreign language, it aims to instill in students a better understanding of linguistic and cultural diversity. In addition, the department aims to improve students’ ability to communicate their ideas about literature in both oral and written forms.

Undergraduate courses provide the core of a liberal education in the humanities and, for those who intend to pursue careers in teaching and scholarship, the basis for advanced study of literature.

These courses range from historical surveys of English and American literature and introductory courses in critical methods to advanced courses and seminars in particular periods, authors, genres, and literary issues.

Key Features
