General studies and elective offerings
In addition to offering upper level concentration
and special nonconcentration programs, Albright’s department
of English is a vital part of the College’s liberal arts core
– the general studies programs – in the areas of composition
and literature. All students at Albright take at least one composition
course, usually English 102. Students also take four humanities
courses, one or two of which may be literature courses. The humanities-literature
requirement may be met with courses in the literature of any language,
but most students select one of the specially designed 200 level
general studies literature courses: 210, 235, and 270. General studies
students are not confined to courses on the 200-level, however,
and they are encouraged to inquire of the instructor about the appropriateness
of any course offered by the department.
Nearly all of the department’s offerings
have proven to be both popular and enriching elective courses, and
many of Albright’s concentrators in other programs have rounded
off their liberal arts experience at the College with courses in
communications, drama, literature, speech, creative writing, or
one of the department’s travel interims offered from time to
time to such places as London, Dublin, and Italy.
Students interested in supervised creative
writing projects may pursue them on an individual study basis after
approval by a departmental adviser. The English department maintains
a Writing Center where students of all disciplines
are welcome to seek assistance in redrafting papers and in improving
writing skills.
Albright’s Theatre Department offers
several dramatic literature courses that may be used to satisfy
general studies Humanities-literature or English concentration requirements.
Please see the Theatre section for descriptions of these courses.
