The Department of English offers a wide variety of courses covering three linked and overlapping areas: literature written in English; drama, including both courses in dramatic literature and courses that introduce the student to the basic elements of theatrical performance; and cultural studies, including analysis of a variety of visual media. These three areas are integrally related, and all students in English Department programs are encouraged to do work in all three while pursuing a program specific to one of them.
