English Literature - Saint Joseph's University

English Literature from Saint Joseph's University is a Campus Bachelor Literature degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Through its challenging and rewarding program of study, the English Department introduces students to the formative traditions of British, Irish, American, and Anglophone literature . We supplement these historical, critical, and generic courses with specialized courses that (1) offer an in-depth examination of individual authors and critical problems, (2) balance theory with the practice of rhetoric, and (3) develop creative talents. Throughout our program, we integrate close reading and extensive writing, and we present fundamentals of research in order to foster intellectual maturity and to prepare our students for more advanced study in literature and writing. Because we wish our English majors to explore their particular interests, we offer four tracks to guide their course selections: (1) literature , (2) writing, (3) theatre/drama, and (4) education. There is a general major option as well for students who do not wish to declare a track. The English major thus equips our students to enter many careers, including teaching, publishing, editing, writing, and business. Current English graduates include college professors, teachers, journalists, novelists, poets, lawyers, pharmacists, physicians, and public-relations specialists. Literature Track The Literature track requires one Medieval/Renaissance course, one Literary Theory or Genre Studies course, one literature course of any period (including dramatic literature), and one English elective. The three Integrative Learning courses for the Literature Track include the following: Classics, Fine and Performing Arts, upper-division courses in Foreign Languages, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, or Theology. No more than two courses should be in a particular discipline. View more details on Saint Joseph's University .
