English - Literature and Film Option, BA

University of Colorado - Denver

The Literature & Film Option of the English BA is designed to develop a student's ability to read literature and view film critically and imaginatively, to foster an understanding and appreciation of our literary inheritance, to provide the historical perspective from which to evaluate contemporary culture, and to prepare students for a range of professional careers in areas such as film criticism, literary and video production, and the teaching of film and literature. Careful study of literature, visual media, and popular culture also should help a student to think critically about politics, the media, and the wider world. Students who complete the bachelor's degree in English - Literature & Film are expected to have mastered the ability to express their ideas clearly and persuasively. These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their major advisor and CLAS advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
