英语文学学士学位

英语系提供的学习课程旨在培养学生负责任地，富有想象力地阅读文学的能力，以增进对我们文学传承的理解和欣赏，并提供用于评估当代写作的历史视角。认真学习英语的使用也应有助于学生抵制政治，媒体和其他地方对语言的滥用和腐败。希望以英语完成课程的学生已经掌握了用清晰简洁的散文表达思想的能力。英语专业的学生学会获取和综合信息，并熟练地表达他们的想法和观点。他们在需要熟练使用语言以取得成就和进步的领域找到工作。许多毕业生不仅在写作，电影研究和文学方面都进修了研究生，而且还在医学院，法学院，教育学院，新闻学院和商学院进修。
The course of study offered by the Department of English is designed to develop a student's ability to read literature responsibly and imaginatively, to foster an understanding and appreciation of our literary inheritance, and to provide the historical perspective from which to evaluate contemporary writing. Careful study of the use of the English language also should help a student to resist the misuse and corruption of language in politics, the media, and elsewhere. Students who complete the program in English are expected to have mastered the ability to express their ideas in clear and succinct prose. These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their major advisor and CLAS advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
