Learn to critique literature, society and culture from multiple angles — including from a historic, generic, cultural, ethnic, theoretical and national perspective — with a bachelors degree in English - critical studies in literatures, cultures, and film from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The critical studies emphasis is an excellent choice for those who regularly ask deeper questions about movies, video games, books and social media, or find themselves assessing the significance of everyday texts like an advertisement or song lyric. Coursework throughout the major will teach you to read literary, critical and cinematic texts and reveal how they construct meaning and shape frameworks of power that mediate human relationships. With the goal of providing maximum flexibility and personalization, the majority of the critical studies degree is made up of courses chosen by you. Study British, American, world/post-colonial, American ethnic, and womens literature and culture. Explore courses in theory, film and popular culture. Dive deeper into your electives with a creative writing workshop, or learn more about linguistics, or the rhetorics of science, technology, and culture. This holistic, all-encompassing approach shapes our graduates into extremely knowledgeable and culturally competent experts and prepares them well for countless career paths. Upon graduation, youll be able to critically engage with texts of various genres and media to uncover meanings and interpretations — a skill that makes critical studies majors highly sought after. Our grads go on to work at law offices, advertising firms, public relations companies, publishing houses and nonprofit organizations, making a positive impact wherever they go.
