About Bachelor of Arts - English
In this major, students engage not only with the aesthetic dimensions of literature, but also with the values, views, and dynamics of a given and historical context. In small classes and seminars, students are given multiple opportunities to develop their skills in literary analysis, critical writing, and oral expression. Outstanding student essays are selected by faculty to be published each spring in our literary journal, The Mercury.
Students interested in focusing on dramatic literature can choose the drama and playwriting emphasis, available only at the St. Louis main campus.
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
- Apply knowledge of historical, cultural, and genre contexts in order to analyze the canonical works and major periods of American and British literature, as well as some lesser-known works within and outside that canon (including global literature).
- Compose thesis-driven, textually-supported literary analysis that apply the conventions of literary study, including close reading and MLA style.
- Identify and evaluate appropriate research sources, incorporate those sources into well-documented writing, and formulate their own arguments based at least in part on those sources.
