Spring 2025
Each semester the faculty for the Department of English provide course descriptions that build upon the University's catalog descriptions. These individually crafted descriptions provide information about variable topics, authors, novels, texts, writing assignments, and whether instructor consent is required to enroll. The details, along with reviewing the advising report, will help students select course options that best meet one's interests and academic requirements.
The following list includes Undergraduate courses that are sequenced after the First-Year Writing requirement and will change each semester.

This course is comprised of English majors and students seeking to meet a general education requirement. The course introduces students to the short story as a literary form and includes short stories from a range of periods and authors. Students will also read theoretical texts and pieces of literary criticism. "The Short Story" will also ask students to think broadly about stories and why we tell them. Students will participate in a story exchange in order to explore what we can achieve by storytelling and the kinds of dispositions (e.g., empathy) that telling and listening to stories can help us develop. Students will have the opportunity to explore the role that storytelling, broadly construed, plays in their chosen major, discipline, or field.
