Our courses are contemporary and challenging: they embrace Trinity's interdisciplinary curriculum and focus on gender, race, and ethnicity. Students study the traditional canon of literary works as well as ideas and texts that have challenged the canon's centrality. Our courses are particularly attentive to literature by and about women, and to literature written in English by members of diverse cultures in the United States and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>The core of courses required for the English major provide an understanding of literary genres, of themes and movements, and of major figures. Consistent with Trinity's mission, the English Program stresses the development of the ability to analyze, criticize, and synthesize the structures and ideas encountered in texts; the viewing of literature as the reflection of diverse cultures; and the understanding of literature as a sociological and political event and as a commentary on human values, particularly values related to justice, gender, and race.<\/p>\n<p>The skills and insights developed in English courses are highly prized in the professional and scholarly worlds. English students develop the ability to conceive, write, and present nuanced arguments and analyses; they research and think critically; their ability to think empathetically and interdisciplinary make them into conscientious, creative communicators and leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Through research projects and seminar participation, students develop the ability to reason, write, and speak persuasively. Through creative writing electives and practicum experience, students combine studio art training with hands-on project administration. The Program's faculty members, all practicing researchers and writers, encourage English majors to view and develop themselves as independent researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The English Program supports both a major and a minor in the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Major_Requirements\"><h2>Major Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p>To fulfill the requirements of the B.A. in English, students must complete\u00a042 hours of required coursework in the following areas:<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>General Education Literature Requirement<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">3\u00a0credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Major British or U.S. Authors Survey Requirement<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">9\u00a0credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Major Figures Requirement<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">6\u00a0credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Major Genres and Movements Study<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">3 credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Literary and Critical Theory<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">3 credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Internship<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">3 credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>English Electives<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">12 credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Senior Colloquium<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">3 credits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>General Education Literature Requirement (3 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Choose any class that satisfies the English knowledge and inquiry requirement in the first year of the major.
