The purpose of the Center for British-American Literature Studies is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the life and works of the major writers of British-American literature. The Center's program of study in British-American Literature is specifically designed to help students prepare for a career in the interdisciplinary fields of English and English-literature studies, Comparative study of Literature, Psychology of Literature, Philosophy and Literature, or another closely related discipline of study. The program in British-American Literature Studies offers students a unique opportunity to earn a Bachelor's degree, a Master's degree or a Doctoral degree in English-Literature Studies at the undergraduate or graduate levels. The British-American Literature Studies program is "interdisciplinary" in character, which means, students are "required" to work across their field of study in British-American literature in order to "interface" their studies with another closely related discipline, such as psychology or philosophy.
