ENG 465W - The Capstone Course

3 credit(s) Writing-Intensive
This course, intended for English majors in their final year of course work, focuses on a special topic of literary study or craft. Students extend their mastery of writing, close reading, and a variety of critical approaches. They also compose an essay reflecting their development in the major, as well as a substantial culminating project involving research. The objectives are met through informal lecture, discussion, and a workshop atmosphere in which students read and criticize each other’s work. Typically, the fall capstone focuses on literary study and the spring capstone on creative writing.
Prerequisite(s): Senior standing and at least 12 credit hours in English, including ENG 226W.
