The faculty advisor to the yearbook, <em>The Arch<\/em>, has often been a member of the Literature faculty, thus offering students an opportunity to contribute to another college publication.<\/p>\n<p>A Literature major offers many career choices for the talented student.\u00a0 The capacity to think, speak, and write well distinguishes the educated person and is advantageous in all professions.\u00a0 Publishing, journalism, and teaching are obvious possibilities for a literature major.\u00a0 Writing, theater, and television are further considerations.\u00a0 Literature graduates do well in business, government, and science where these endeavors require an articulate and creative expression of their philosophy and purpose.\u00a0 Literature provides training for law, diplomacy, and public relations.\u00a0 At least a third of Literature Majors enroll for teacher education.<\/p>\n<p>Literature is part and parcel of the College mission, at the very heart of its focus on liberal arts and interdisciplinarity, on multiculturalism, and global connection. The Literature program is one of the most attractive majors at Â鶹´«Ã½.\u00a0 Literature takes in the entire world and enables the student to encounter the complexity and cultural richness of the global village.\u00a0 It fosters the development of an enlightened and critical citizen of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The major is offered by the School of American and International Studies and leads to a B.A. degree.<\/p>\n<p>The Literature Program also offers a Literature Minor and a Concentration in Creative Writing.
