Areas of Specialization

The Areas of Specialization referred to on this page are for undergraduate English concentrators.

We have designed these “Areas of Specialization” to help concentrators identify the variety of fields currently taught within the English Department, and to assist concentrators in arranging their upper-division courses with greater coherence. Concentrators are strongly encouraged to select three upper-division courses within one of the Areas below (or one designed by the student and an advisor).

NOTE: Areas of Specialization are not applicable to courses prior to Fall 2008.

Please select a semester, year, and Area of Specialization from the options below:
