Description:
The English
Department’s Undergraduate Specialization in
Early Modern Studies
Description: The English Department encourages upper-division students with particular literary/critical interests to pursue them formally by selecting an area of specialization. The Undergraduate Specialization in Early Modern Studies focuses on English literature from 1500 to 1800. It encourages students to take courses on a wide range of topics throughout this broad historical span and to study both minor authors of the period as well as major figures, such as Spenser, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Milton, Pope, Defoe, Richardson, and Samuel Johnson. Students are encouraged to consult with Early Modern faculty members in selecting their courses. Those who successfully complete the EMS Specialization will receive a certificate and a silver medallion at the English Department's end-of-year graduation ceremony.
