Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [English] From Humboldt State University

The major at Humboldt State University can assure students of individual attention in the design and planning of their particular Pathways.?

Since the richness of historical knowledge, criticism, the study of language, close reading, and written expression can never be exhausted, the underlying goal of the major is to provide students with the flexible skills needed to approach fresh contexts rather than with a fixed body of knowledge.

The core courses have been designed to give beginning students a breadth of literary experience, and then, as they attain more knowledge of the discipline, the Pathways provide a deeper understanding of language, literature, critical theory, and writing. This progression will be maintained through a series of courses with variable topics in these areas at the upper-division level.
