Important Information for Junior and Senior English Majors
The English major has a capstone requirement which may be fulfilled either by taking a senior seminar or writing a senior thesis.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
In a senior seminar, literature and creative writing concentrators come together to culminate their work as English majors in an intimate setting, guided by a professor who will, in various ways, afford students a chance to pursue their own interests.
In a senior thesis, students undertake an original independent project. The process of embarking on a thesis begins in the spring of Junior Year.
