Description:
The English
Department’s Undergraduate Specialization in
Early Modern Studies
Description: The Specialization in Early Modern Studies is a key undergraduate offering of the Early Modern
Center. The English Department encourages upper-division students with
particular literary/critical interests to pursue them formally by selecting
an area of specialization. The Undergraduate Specialization in Early Modern
Studies focuses on English literature from 1500 to 1800. It encourages
students to take courses on a wide range of topics throughout this broad
historical span and to study in depth both minor authors of the period
as well as such major figures as Spenser, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Milton,
Pope, Defoe, Richardson, and Samuel Johnson. Students are encouraged to
consult with Early Modern faculty members for
advice in selecting their courses.

Requirements: Any 4 elective courses (1 of which may be lower division) or 3 elective courses (1 of which may be lower division) plus one senior seminar, all in the Early Modern period. In either case, Early Modern courses required for the major (for example, English 10, 15, 101, 102, or courses used in substitution for these requirements) may not count toward the specializations, with one exception: if you have elected to fulfil the Shakespeare requirement by taking English 105A or 105B, any additional Shakespeare courses you may take (e.g. English 15, 105A or 105B) will count towards the specialization.
