Undergraduate Program
Courses offered by the Department of English are designed to develop students' understanding of important works of English, American, and other literatures in English; to provide historical perspectives from which to read and analyze these works; and to deepen students' insight into their own experience. Courses also aim to develop students' abilities to express their ideas orally and in writing.
Official Yale College program information is found in the Yale College Programs of Study, available on line at www.yale.edu/yalecollege/publications/ycps.
