Literature

A range of course selections expose students to many of the greatest and most inventive minds through works of major authors of poetry, short story, and 20th century British or American literature, as well as readings in German, Spanish, Latin American, African-American or women's literature.

Why does it matter?

In so doing, students gain a basic understanding of some of the traditions and methods of literary study and increase their capacity for critical reading and evaluation of the written word, a skill valued within a variety of applied settings.
