In addition to developing an understanding of important works of American and British literature from the eighth century through the present, English majors at the º£½ÇÂÛ̳ University Mansfield specialize in one of two academic areas, Literature and Writing, Rhetoric, & Literacy. Students choose their specialization based on their interests and career goals and may begin their English major course work without declaring a concentration. Our faculty and English advisor are always available to discuss the concentrations and students’ career goals to provide information and guidance.
