LIT 400 Senior Seminar in Literature

3 hours 

The senior seminar requires students in the literature concentration to synthesize the knowledge and critical skills they have acquired in the major. The course offers an in-depth study of a particular topic, author, or intellectual theme and asks students to examine the relevant issues and debates through course readings, discussion, and an original research project. The topic, author, or theme for the semester will be situated in current conversations in the broader field of literary/theoretical study.
