English 494NI - The Next Chapter

Designed for senior primary English majors, this course asks students at that important moment in their education: what have you learned as an English major? How have your English studies intersected with other courses you've taken and programs you've pursued? And how will you make the most of those studies once you graduate? Course topics, readings, and activities will vary by instructor, but all sections will include reading and writing assignments that help primary English majors in their senior year situate their work within both the different fields of English and the many disciplines of the wider academy, explore how their identity has affected and been affected by that work, and consider ways in which they might connect their work with the world outside the academy. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for ENGLISH majors.
