Our small class sizes allow you to work closely with faculty while exploring English literature in depth. We also offer a variety of special programs, including opportunities abroad studying literature at Cambridge University and travel writing in London. In our Writers and Speakers Series, you’ll hear published writers and prominent literary scholars from around the country talk about their work. Our 3+3 program offers the possibility of earning both a bachelor's degree and a law degree in six – rather than seven – years of study.

As an English literature major, you must complete a minimum of 40 credits of major coursework with a grade of C- or better, with the exception of ENGL 419 Introduction to Literary Analysis, which you must complete with a grade of C or better. You may not use ENGL 401 First-Year Writing, ENGL 403 Exploring Literature, ENGL 415s, "Literature and..." courses, or ENGL 444 classes to satisfy major requirements.
