Individually Created Specialization

Individually Created Specialization (IS) - 4-5 Courses

Students who wish to design their own specialization pathway through the major may do so with the guidance and approval of an English department faculty advisor.

For an example of an Individualized Specialization in English, see Sarah Robinson’s proposal for a program in Irish and British Literature (PDF), pulling together multiple courses in English under the direction of faculty member Katherine O’Callaghan.

We hope to have more examples as time goes on!
