The offering in English is designed to foster good writing, effective speaking, and heightened understanding of culturally significant texts. Students majoring in English are encouraged to develop their responsiveness to the literary imagination and their sensitivity to literary form through disciplined attention to language and to critical and scholarly methods.
For all students, including transfers, "a minimum of six semester courses must be completed while the student is in residence at Barnard". Non-majors may satisfy the distribution requirement in the Humanities (Part A) and in Culture and Societies (Part B) by electing appropriate courses listed under Language and Literature.
