BA in English Literature

Studying literature is a road map to the world around you. In the LIU Post English Department, you will travel the past with such great literary voices as Chaucer and Shakespeare, Dickens and the Bront s. Then you will discover the world through contemporary writers such as James Joyce, Tennessee Williams and Virginia Wolfe. The B.A. in English with a Concentration in Literature offers you an opportunity to explore these great minds of Western civilization, in their own words, on a one-to-one basis. The systematic study of great literature prepares students for a wide variety of careers, including teaching, law, medicine, business and computer science.
