英语文学学士

欢迎来到英语系。我们在这里教授一种特殊的知识。如果哲学家贩运思想，事实的历史学家，数字的数学家，那么通过语言理解世界就是批评家的事。我们的选民在其悠久的历史和遍及全球的范围内，广泛阅读用英语撰写的文献。他们测试了文学类别本身相对于其他媒体和更广泛的文化类别的界限。通过语言的角度，他们可以考虑一个伟大的问题：力量，美丽，身份，爱。英语选修课必须总共选修11门课程：两门200级的先修课程（初级研讨会）和八门部门课程，其中七门必须达到300级或以上。在部门代表的允许下，选修人员可以从另一部门算出一门同类课程，该
We teach a special kind of knowledge here. If the philosopher traffics in ideas, the historian in facts, the mathematician in numbers, it is the critic's business to understand the world through words. Our concentrators read widely in the literatures written in English, over its long history and across its global reach. They test the boundaries of the category of literature itself, in relation to other media and to the broader category of culture. Through the lens of language, they get to consider the great questions: power, beauty, identity, love. The Department of English is a home for study of the diversity of writing in English, and we cherish the diversity of our students and faculty. We are committed to supporting members of our community across our rich differences of race and ethnicity, religion, politics, ability and disability, gender, sexuality, and immigration status. Respect for those differences is a shared and essential intellectual value. Special tracks within the major, from Arts and Media to Criticism and Theory to Drama and Performance Studies, allow for a wide range of interdisciplinary study. Concentrators learn to write boldly, argue forcefully, and think freely, and they graduate prepared for careers as various as medicine, law, and journalism. They also carry with them a personal canon of great writing in English, books they will read and reread over a lifetime.
