Bachelor of Arts in English Literature

at Goucher College

Reading invites us to explore the many sides of experience, letting us see through the eyes of others. This is at the heart of literary studies. Literary studies’ comprehensive core includes textual analysis, literary theory, and American, British, and international fiction. We also encourage students to tailor the program to their own interests and incorporate classes from other disciplines.

With the benefit of small class sizes, faculty provide individualized instruction and mentoring, with one-on-one advising to help you choose the courses best suited to your ambitions. Additionally, our faculty are active scholars and researchers, with substantial work in their respective disciplines.
