The English Language and Literature program leading to the baccalaureate degree gives the student a firm background and skills in reading, writing, and criticism—tools that are vital for effective work in many segments of society. The program also provides a solid foundation for graduate study in a number of disciplines. The major immerses the student in the cultural wealth of literature written in or translated into English.
The major offers tracks in language and literature or writing. Applicants should have compiled a minimum GPA of 2.5 overall, and 2.7 in English courses.
