Bachelor of Arts in English and Comparative Literature - British and American Literature

If you choose to major in English and Comparative Literature (ECL), you will gain myriad important skills that will prove essential in the workplace and in the public sphere more broadly. ECL majors learn to produce clear and persuasive analytical writing or creative writing that demonstrates the qualities of literature. Moreover, the major teaches research methods, critical reading skills, comparative thinking, and historical contexts. Particularly at this moment in American culture and history, we believe these skills are essential. The ECL curriculum ensures that students gain historical breadth in their discipline in the form of surveys, as well as depth, in courses that focus on a single genre, topic, or author, which allow for a sustained emphasis on close analysis. Students majoring in English and Comparative Literature also have the opportunity to concentrate their field of study on British & American Literature, Comparative & World Literatures, Creative Writing, Film Studies, Science, Medicine, & Literature, Social Justice & Literature, Writing, Editing, & Digital Publishing. From Milton to Morrison, Shakespeare to Faulkner, choose your own adventure as you explore rich literary traditions. This concentration not only introduces students to a broad range of texts, but also allows room for specialization.
