Medieval Literature. Writing About the Environment. Irish Modernism. Bible As Literature. These are just a few of the courses UB has offered recently. English majors will typically take classes in criticism, theory and different types of fictional and non-fictional texts. Students might read Chaucer in one class, write about modern film theory in another, and study African American literature in another, gaining insights from history, law and other fields along the way. Most of all, students will learn to produce compelling, persuasive, and sophisticated writing.
