Overview

The English - Literary Studies program at Cal Poly Pomona University prepares students to pursue careers in high school and postsecondary teaching in community college and university settings, to continue on to doctoral studies, and to enter career fields requiring superior proficiency in written and oral communication, critical thinking, analysis, and research.

Key Features

Students work with an advisor to tailor their course of study to their own interests and needs. Students declare one field as a primary research field and then select a group of directed electives as a secondary area of expertise in a 30-31 semester-unit program. This "dual-emphasis" program gives our students a diverse and integrated knowledge set that make them professionally competitive. Literature students may choose to take their directed electives in literature, rhetoric & composition or TESOL; rhetoric & composition students may choose to take their directed electives in literature or TESOL; TESOL students do not select a secondary area of study in order to meet State requirements in their field.
