BA in English in Atlanta United States | Emory University

Examining literature, its creation by authors, and its impact on people and communities forms a crucial part of liberal arts learning. The exploration of literature can also investigate how historical events, religious beliefs, scientific discoveries, philosophical ideas, and various academic fields influence readers and writers across different eras and regions. Emory's curriculum offers students an understanding of diverse literary forms and historical periods within British, American, and other English-language literatures, while also treating literature as a reflection of broader cultural contexts. The program emphasizes training in analytical methods, research skills, and effective writing. It builds an academic foundation of reasoned analysis, thoughtful evaluation, and articulate expression that benefits students pursuing careers in business, education, law, healthcare, or other professional areas.
