English majors choose to concentrate in either literature or writing.
Students in the literature concentration study Shakespeare and the literary traditions of Great Britain and the United States, with opportunities to study African-American literature, classical literature, and international literatures. Students in the writing concentration take three levels of expository writing courses, supplemented by specialized writing courses like Creative Writing, Technical Writing, and Journalism. As seniors, students in both concentrations take a capstone seminar in literary theory. Below you will find complete requirements for each of the concentrations, as well as a listing of course offerings in English at Heidelberg. Literary Genres 221 .
