Curriculum
The English curriculum at PC is both traditional and innovative at the same time. You can take courses in the classics, like Shakespeare, the Romantics, Chaucer, the American Renaissance, or African American literature. We also offer courses in contemporary areas like Postcolonial Literature, Southern Women’s Writing, and the Modern British and American Novel. Consider our courses in film, such as Introduction to World Cinema, Silent Film, Chinese film, and Film & American Culture. Or perhaps you’d like to take some creative writing workshops or an Advanced Writing class. Several members of our department direct interdisciplinary minors such as Film Studies, Southern Studies, and Women’s and Gender Studies.
Have a look at our complete list of course offerings, as well as the requirements for the English major/minor. We have a concentration in Creative Writing and offer secondary school teaching certification as well. Wonder what you’ll do after graduating with an English degree? We have some suggestions.
