Words matter. English bachelor's at Saint Louis University Madrid gain in-depth knowledge of the richly varied forms of British, American, and world literature written in English. Our graduates have increased intercultural awareness and strong research, analytic, and communication skills that prepare them for a wide range of professions.
The English Bachelor of Arts (BA) is structured around the study of literature in its historical context, as an art form, and as a cultural critique. The major also has a rhetoric component. Advanced seminars explore major periods and authors in British, U.S., and postcolonial literature, as well as significant themes and theories (e.g., nature, travel literature, war, and literature, gender and sexuality, ecocriticism).
