Undergraduate Program - Department of English Literature Not only by evaluating literary works written in English as verbal art but also by studying the cultural and historical contexts that created them, students gain insight into the universality and pluralism of humanity and its society. With an intensive thinking exercise in small classes and the writing of a graduation thesis as the culmination of undergraduate study, students will develop the ability to identify problems with a critical view, methods for seeking solutions based on research and analysis, and the skills to logically communicate the results in both Japanese and English. In this way, our goal is not only to hone English language skills as a means of communicating information but also to become a global citizen in the truest sense, a “language professional” who utilizes competent intellect to deal with the various issues that arise in intercultural negotiations.

Admission Requirements
The Department of English and American Literature welcomes students interested in language in general, as well as in interpreting and analyzing the social significance of certain languages, and in reading and interpreting text as a form of linguistic representation: Students who acknowledge that the reason for requiring the acquisition of English skills is not singly because English is an internationally common language and who are capable of finding meaning in studying English, even after considering the negative factors associated with English as an international common language; Students who understand that language indeed constitutes the core of human actions and whose level of interest in literature, an important aspect of human language activity, exceed a certain extent; and Students who acknowledge that learning about others is connected to learning about themselves, and that language and language expression in the form of text serve as catalyses, and whose English proficiency level exceeds a certain level that enables the reading of such text.
