The English Department at Minnesota State University, Mankato offers students the opportunity to study literature from a variety of perspectives. We teach courses focusing on particular authors, courses focusing on particular time periods, courses focusing on particular genres, and courses focusing on particular critical frameworks. In these courses, we train students to think critically, reason analytically, solve problems, and communicate clearly. Guided by a faculty of dedicated teachers and scholars, the Literature Program provides students with the skills necessary to succeed in fields such as education, publishing, marketing, and law.
We offer both a bachelor's and a master's degree in the field of literature, as well as a literature-based minor. Please contact the literature program director if you have questions about our course offerings.
