The English Major at Winthrop University gives our students a broad range of educational experiences; it also encourages students to make personal choices about what they want to read and study. Most of our students will enjoy a variety of classes and topics, taking risks, experimenting with new sorts of courses each semester. Nevertheless, despite our emphasis on variety, it is possible for an individual student to design a focused course of study within the major. If you want to go on to get an M.A. or Ph. D. in Literature, if you want to hone your reading skills in preparation for law school or for work as a professional editor, or if you simply want to read and study literature as much as you can because you love it, you might consider the course pathway below.
