Muhlenberg’s English Literatures Program’s flexible curriculum allows you to explore diverse literature while tailoring the major to your interests. You’ll study written, dramatic, filmic and transmedia texts spanning British, American and Postcolonial literatures; African American, Global Black and Native American literatures; Jewish, women and LGBTQ+ writers; and literatures addressing genocide, human rights and ecology.
As you hone your critical reading skills, you’ll also practice writing across genres including fiction, poetry, plays, screenplays, criticism, journalism and more. Through creative and critical writing and dynamic class discussions, you’ll engage with writers of the past and present and explore how listening to each other’s stories can create a more equitable world. You’ll also learn broadly applicable skills that will enable you to chart a fulfilling career path.
Learn from renowned scholars and writers, engage in experiential learning opportunities, writing for publications, tutoring peers and discover the transformative power of taking your studies to new places at home and abroad.
Connect with our passionate faculty who will encourage you to examine, analyze and engage in dynamic discussion over a diverse range of voices from the past and present while developing your own.
Unlocking a deep understanding of critical reading and writing skills will open countless doors after graduation. Learn about many paths traveled by our alumni after their Muhlenberg journey.
