Literature

The heart of a liberal arts education, the study of literature and language cultivates the empathy, initiative, and creativity that we all need to thrive in the world. Department faculty shares the conviction that the study of literature exercises the imagination and teaches the value of individual perception, the importance of culture, and the power of ideas. We also believe that the study of Literature provides a foundation for lifelong learning and prepares majors for a variety of careers.
