The English Department at Minnesota State University, Mankato offers students the opportunity to study literature and film from a variety of perspectives. We teach courses focusing on particular authors (such as Toni Morrison or Romantic poets), courses focusing on particular time periods (such as the 1920s or British literature since 1785), courses focusing on particular genres (such as horror films or children's literature), and courses focusing on particular critical frameworks (such as literary theory or feminist rhetoric). Guided by a faculty of dedicated teachers and scholars, the Literature and Film Program provides students with the communication and critical thinking 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 minor in film studies. Students interested in literature should enroll in English 275: Introduction to Literary Studies; students interested in film should enroll in English 114: Introduction to Film. Please contact either the literature program director or the film studies director if you have questions about our course offerings.
