文学
The 文学 major focuses on interpreting significant texts of American, 英国, 以及全球文学. 这个过程需要仔细阅读, 注意语境, thoughtful analysis and clear written explanation. 通过这项研究, literature majors develop skills that are transferable to many contexts, and gain insights into themselves and their relationship to a changing world. 正如学者们几个世纪以来所说的那样, literature offers insight and pleasure, and motivates personal and social change. It challenges us to see the world more fully and to interpret it more carefully.
“As a student at 资本 and member of the student newspaper team, I gained hands-on experience that has been invaluable in my first job after graduation. Classroom study of the field gave me the tools to succeed, but my experience on the paper really taught me how to use those tools in the real world.”
-Heather Barr, 新闻与专业写作, Class of 2020
