पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

In this program, students will explore one of two concentrated fields of study, one with an American focus and another with a European/World focus, as described below. A guiding assumption of the major is that an appreciation of the past as a record of human experience, achievement, and even folly can help students to bring greater depth of understanding the efforts to address problems of the contemporary world. Language as a form of communication and expression is central to the evolution of human culture, and self-awareness. Thus, the literature component of the major will serve to deepen and enrich its historical component. In literature courses, and in the seminars, students will be exposed to the study and close analysis of significant writers representing a diversity of traditions and genres. Study in both disciplines will develop skills that are vital to successful careers, responsible citizenship, and satisfying engagement with life, such as the ability to gather, weigh, and sift evidence; to form hypotheses from complex data; to respond critically to the written word, and to express oneself clearly in spoken and written communication. Coursework in history and literature will be augmented by an integrative seminar that will build on the methods, knowledge bases, and insights acquired from the courses taken in the two disciplines, as well as provide opportunities for interdisciplinary inquiry and research both within and across the disciplines or areas of concentration. The Junior Seminar will serve both the History and the History and Literature majors and both seminars will be open to non-majors who wish to enroll in them as history or literature electives.
