Return to: Academic Programs
Our English Literature major is distinctive in its balance of historical literary traditions, contemporary texts, critical theory, and cultural context. Because we can combine a small college’s close attention to individual students with a large university’s library resources, our courses encourage a wide range of interdisciplinary linkages while developing skills in information processing and online database research. The major engages students with challenging and provocative tests and in the process stimulates wide reading, understanding of a variety of literary traditions and genres, and critical thinking.

Core Courses 6 courses (18 credits)
The core courses ensure familiarity with a wide range of interconnected literary traditions over centuries. These should be taken after 30 credits of university coursework.
Electives 6 courses (18 credits)
Choose any six of the remaining ENGLIT courses offered at Pitt-Greensburg. A partial list of elective classes is provided below. See the course descriptions in this publication or the current Schedule of Classes for additional choices.

Rather than complete a related area, students may also choose a minor which is often a total of 15 credits, depending upon the chosen Minor.

After earning 90 credits, all English Literature majors must take ENGLIT 1950 to fulfill the capstone class requirement.
