Program Description

The children's and young adult literature program offers the opportunity to study how texts for children and young adults speak to the reader and to the broader field of literary studies. Students explore what makes children's and young adult literature "the right form" to say certain things, and what power and influence such texts might have to shape individual and cultural thinking. Students in the program get a specialized, intensive experience that can prepare them for doctoral level studies or to teach at the post-secondary level, enhance their K-12 teaching certificate by supplementing it with current literary knowledge and approaches and enrich thinking and writing skills (as well as a lifelong love of reading) through focused explorations of the genres and formats of literature for young readers and their broader literary and cultural contexts.

Students in the program can create a personalized course of study. They may choose to concentrate in British, American or World literature in research projects of their own design. The program of study includes seminars on literature, as well as on literary theory, linguistics, and research methodology. Students can become conversant with Gender Studies, Multicultural Studies, World Literatures, Popular Culture, British and American Literature, and other important sub-fields of literary studies.
