English - Carleton College

English from Carleton College is a Campus Bachelor English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Our curriculum balances the classic literatures of the past with the varied idioms of the present. We offer majors and non-majors a range of topics and approaches to the study of literature: classical studies in the English and American literary tradition organized by historical periods, topics, and genres; studies of African, African American, Native American, Asian American, and post colonial literature; creative writing classes in poetry, fiction, screenwriting and play writing, and creative nonfiction; critical theory, both ancient and modern, as well as courses in the theoretical and practical analysis of film, television, and drama; cross-listed courses in American Studies, Theater Arts, Media Studies, Women's Studies, Environmental and Technology Studies, and Integrated General Studies; independent study projects in a remarkable array of topics. English classes tend to be small and informal. We urge each student to discover his or her style in reading subtle and complex texts, in writing clear and persuasive prose, and in thinking and speaking metaphorically as well as logically about life's important issues. Each day we carry books, cassettes, videotapes, and photocopies galore into overheated classrooms hoping this class, this hour will advance our understanding a step further. We love literature and we love teaching. View more details on Carleton College . Ask your questions and apply online for this program or find other related English courses.
