Undergraduate / English Major

English with History BA

The central aim of the History minor is to enable students to acquire knowledge and understanding of the human past and to reflect critically on the complex, and often contradictory, information available to us now about that past.

English with History BA

The English with History BA brings together the study of literature from 1550 to the present with a deeper understanding of the contexts from which that literature emerged. You’ll study rhetoric, stylistics, and compare texts across forms and periods. You’ll develop your knowledge of the contexts of these texts in your History minor, and learn to reflect critically on the complex, and often contradictory, information available to us now about the past.
