ENG 2012-0003 - Summer 2026 - Ramsey

Are you interested in learning more about the English Major? As an introductory course, this class will act as a guide that will introduce you to English studies and the broad range of opportunities the field can provide. This course prepares students to be English majors, shows how English studies can be used both in college and in the students' career choices, and exposes students to the pleasure of reading, writing, and using language to its best effect. In this section, we will use the primary text, The Color Purple by Alice Walker, as a vehicle to explore various theories and approaches to reading and analyzing literature. We will write both on the text and beyond the text as we consider various areas of English studies. With the completion of this course, you will be better prepared for the variety of assignments found in future higher level English courses.
