BA English at University of New Hampshire

Programme overview

Our general English major has two objectives: provide our students with a common core of literary experience and expertise, and offer them the opportunity to shape a course of study suited to their personal interests. By offering flexible requirements, we encourage students to devise a path through coursework that has an intelligent rationale. Students whose primary interest is in literary studies can focus on our many offerings in that area; those who have a special interest in writing can take multiple writing courses in fiction, creative nonfiction and poetry writing (in addition to literature courses).
