Undergraduate Studies
The B.A. in English emphasizes your individual flexibility and choice, while offering a strong grounding in areas foundational to English studies. You can tailor your studies to accomplish a wide variety of goals, whether that involves advancing to graduate studies or pursuing your dream career (or both).
If you would like more details about the current requirements of the English B.A., you should consult the English Majors' Handbook . Archived versions of earlier editions are available here: 2023-2024 ; 2021-2022 .
If you began your studies before Fall 2021, you'll find information about your program requirements on the Undergraduate Studies (For Students Entering Before Fall 2021) page.
