- Description
- Students of Literature & Writing become familiar with the work of important writers; are introduced to the individual and cultural values, ideas, debates, and insights woven into literature; and sharpen their understanding of the English language. Repeated practice in writing, thinking, and speaking about literary texts helps students discover their own voices, develop their skills of critical analysis, and gain confidence in themselves as independent thinkers. Students who major in Literature or Writing learn to read with discernment and write with power, abilities that can enrich them for the rest of their lives. At the same time, they develop pragmatic skills that will serve them well in the world of the professions. Simmons Literature and Writing majors have gone on to successful careers in law, publishing, journalism, advertising, business, public service, technology, and education.
