ENG 4500 - Senior Project

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ENG 2000 or ENG 2100, and Senior-level standing and permission of instructor

Description: This course is a Senior Experience for the English Major, focusing on the production of a capstone project that synthesizes knowledge and skills acquired over the course of the student’s undergraduate studies in English. Students employ critical analysis and reflect on the range of theoretical approaches, textual forms, authorial identities, orientations, and audiences encountered across the wide field of English and textual studies. Students also consider the history of the field, underlying philosophical tenets, and current and emergent practices. The extended project requires research, close textual analysis, and application of a specific critical or theoretical perspective; it may include, along with the researched academic essay component, other forms of writing, including multi-modal and creative writing.
