William
Shakespeare, Jane Austen, James Joyce, Toni Morrison. With art
and skill, writers give us a window onto the breadth of the human
experience.
English
majors explore that experience, and at Marquette there
are three approaches, and three majors. The literary-historical
approach.
- Literature
Major studies the major periods, authors and kinds of
English and American literature; the writing-intensive approach
- WINE Major
focuses on advanced composition, creative writing, professional
writing, and rhetorical theory; and the teacher-training approach
- Teaching
major, in conjunction with the School
of Education, culminates in an elementary or secondary teaching
certificate.
