Upper Level Literature Courses

The upper division literature requirement at Mount Aloysius College is intended to offer students the opportunity to see through the lenses of others and through a looking glass into the world as others view it. Concentrated study in a defined area of literature gives students a detailed preview of human experiences, access to the creative and innovative ways we humans interpret the world, and provides a deeper understanding of issues and situations. These reflections of life provide skills which enhance student ability to cope successfully in any career or field of study they enter into after they graduate. This is a requirement for all bachelor’s degree seeking students.
