PROFESSOR WILLIAM J. MAHAR, Director, School of Humanities

This program is for students who love literature and want to study various aspects of it in depth. This major is more broadly based than most traditional English studies. Students will explore both individual writers and the cultural contexts of American, English, European, and Latin American literature. Faculty strengths are in Renaissance literature; nineteenth-and twentieth-century British and American literature; contemporary, Latin American, and African American literature.
