English + Film Studies
Students with a particular interest in the interconnections between film and literature are encouraged to pursue a 12-credit film concentration within the English major. Those who study film alongside fiction, poetry and drama have a more comprehensive understanding of modern cultural history and questions of representation.

English + Creative Writing
Like to write literature as well as read it? Now you can take a 12-credit creative writing concentration as part of your English major, choosing among fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, memoir and other workshops. Find out not just what a text means but also how it does that.

English + MA Degree
Ambitious students entering the English major can now apply for a five-year dual-degree program and earn an MA in English with only one additional year of study. Students can cap off their undergraduate studies with more intensive graduate-level work under the supervision of a faculty of nationally recognized scholars.
