About the Program
The Literature option is the broadest of our degrees, and involves the careful analysis of texts in their cultural, historical, and formal contexts. Because the Literature degree involves extensive training in writing and the close attention to the meaning of texts, this option provides a flexible set of skills that can be applied to a wide variety of careers.
