Online English Language and Literature Major
This program is designed to give you broad experience in American, British, and World literatures. It will help you develop a variety of reading strategies, including historical, biographical, and cultural approaches, and it will give you practical grounding in writing, analytical, and research skills that can be adapted to many careers. In your courses, you will hone your critical thinking abilities by pursuing problems of interpretation and the analysis of the interplay between history, culture, and text. Small class sizes allow you to participate fully and receive thorough feedback on your written work. The study of literature not only trains you in reading and communication, it also introduces you to new pleasures of reading and appreciation for the rich possibilities of the written word.
