UNDERGRADUATE SPECIALIZATION

UCSB’s English Department encourages its students to pursue their particular interests while also developing a broad understanding of English, American, and Anglophone literature. Accordingly we offer an undergraduate specialization in “Literature and Mind.” Students can specialize in Literature and Mind by taking, at anytime before graduation, four approved courses. At least two of these must be courses taught by the English faculty (or affiliates) associated with the specialization. Two may be taken from a list of approved courses taught by instructors in other departments If you are interested in specializing in Lit and Mind you should contact the English Department’s Undergraduate Advisor, Jessica Good.
