Taught by a faculty of nationally-recognized scholars, the English curriculum distinguishes itself by its broad coverage of literary genres and periods, while offering many opportunities for specialized study.

English majors must take a selection of introductory courses in literary periods—medieval through modern—and literary genres—poetry, drama and fiction. Intermediate courses focus on particular authors, themes and modes.

A required course in critical reading introduces the student to several genres and the critical methods used to interpret a text. A required advanced seminar involves majors in a small, discussion-oriented class, usually reflecting a faculty member's current research interests.
