Bachelor's Degree
The Departments of History and English provide an interdisciplinary joint major program. Those pursuing this combined degree blend literary studies and writing with historical analysis. Within English studies, we examine how literature and rhetoric both influence and are influenced by their cultural contexts. Through language, literary works, and persuasive communication, we gain valuable insights into the concepts and values that shape society—including past and present perspectives on aesthetics, identity, colonialism, social structures, and ecological concerns across diverse media forms.
