Overview

The students' electives are chosen from courses throughout the English department and their capstone project (Alternate Plan Paper) gives them an opportunity to further shape their program to fit their career goals.

The Literature and English Studies program at Minnesota State University Mankato prepares students for teaching positions at the post-secondary level, particularly technical and community colleges, and provides a foundation for doctoral work in English and careers in the literary marketplaces. Students work with a dedicated faculty who provide numerous opportunities for professional growth.
