  • Academic Learning Compact - English

    English explores the rich diversity of cultures through study of the interaction of cultural objects and contexts. In the English major, you learn how to understand, to communicate about and to produce cultural objects. The study of English does not imply a specific course of study nor a prescribed set of outcomes; instead, you explore the study of language, literature, theory, etc., within different contexts such as American literary history, British literary history, African-American literary history, film and media studies, genders and sexualities, theory, cultural studies, post-colonial studies, world literatures in English, communications and creative writing.

    Additional information is available from your major's website.
