严格的程序
赌博十大靠谱软件的 主要的需求 bring rigor to the Creative Writing concentration and flexibility to the Literature concentration, built on a common core of literary history and disciplinary study.
Self-directed and In-depth
Literature majors can align their advanced literary studies with their own interests and future plans. Creative writers can expect in-depth study of their chosen 类型.
对英语感兴趣?
If you’re thinking about majoring in English but aren’t sure where to start, we suggest you first try one of our Exploratory Curriculum literature courses. These are great intros to literary study at a college level and also fulfill a “Humanities” requirement, in case you decide English isn’t for you:
- ENG 1110 Literature and 信仰
- 英文2221好诗
- ENG 2223 Fantasy and Science Fiction
- ENG 2234 Literature by Women
- ENG 2248 International Fiction
- ENG 3334 US Multi-Ethnic Literature
And if you’re interested in Creative Writing, try ENG 2215 Imaginative Writing.
核心课程
Once you decide that an English major is right for you, we suggest you turn to our 2000-level “core courses” next. These classes are designed to give you the foundational knowledge and skills you’ll need to succeed in advanced studies. ENG 2225 Literary Interpretation will introduce you to the three main 类型s (poetry, 小说, 戏剧), 文学批评, and to writing about literature. The year-long literature survey sequence, 2251年英格, 2252, 和2253年, forms the backbone of English degrees in universities all over the world.
And while that survey sequence can seem like “boot camp for English majors,” it also prepares you to be fit and ready for everything that comes later, providing a good overview of English literature throughout history. You'll study a vast array of the canonical works, 作者, and major literary periods in English – everything from 贝奥武夫 to Emily Dickinson – while learning to read, think, interpret, and write like a scholar.
混搭
We also suggest that you mix in some other period, 类型, or thematic courses that interest you – preferably at the 3000-level – as you work through the major core, saving 4000-level courses for when you are a seasoned English major well into your junior or senior years. (课程编号, 顺便说一下, roughly reflect the college year they are designed for: 2000 = sophomore, 4000 =高级, 例如. This isn’t a rigid restriction, of course, but it might be a useful “rule of thumb” to know about.)
If you’re interested in Creative Writing, you’ll need to start taking those Literature core courses, 太, but you may want to follow ENG 2215 Imaginative Writing with some of the Creative Writing core and 类型 courses in the area you're specializing in (poetry, 小说, 或非小说).
不要忘记
Your faculty advisor is always there to help you plan courses and make decisions about which program is best for you. We want to help you succeed in the program, as well as to help you find your life calling after college.
