NEW! "Major at Your Own Pace" in English literature
The five-year major in English literature, offered as part of the university's "BA at your Own Pace" program, is intended for students whose jobs or other commitments leave them with less free time for studying.
Students enrolled in this program are required to complete the same number of courses as students doing a regular three-year major, but they take only three courses each year and complete their studies within five years.
