We are committed to mixing a traditional English education with innovative and avant-garde modes of learning. An English major at Colorado College has a choice of three tracks in pursuing that major: the regular English track, the English/Creative Writing track, and the English/Film Studies/Film Making track. All students are expected to have in common courses on literary theory, poetry analysis, prose fiction, Shakespeare, alternative literature (e.g., African American literature, Postcolonial Literature, Literature of the American Southwest), and courses which embrace all or most of four key historical periods: the Middle Ages and Renaissance excluding Shakespeare, British or American literature 1660-1830, the 19th Century in British or American literature, and the 20th Century in British or American literature. Seniors in the English department take a seminar in literature, creative writing (poetry or fiction), or film studies (film making, screen writing, or a critical essay).
