The English Major
When a student chooses to major in English, he or she must choose to
concentrate either in English and American Literature, in Creative
Writing† and Literature, or in Publishing Studies. Students who choose
the English and American Literature concentration take a wide variety
of courses in literature, organized around issues, authors, genres, or
historical periods. Students who choose the Creative Writing† and
Literature concentration divide their course work between literature
courses and workshops in writing prose, poetry, drama, essays,
screenplays, and children’s literature. Students who choose the
Publishing Studies concentration divide their course work between
literature courses and courses in which they study the history and
practice of publishing and the skills and techniques that are essential
in the publishing industry.
