English Majors and Degrees Offered English (B.A.) with an emphasis in: Creative Writing Drama Literature, Society, and Politics Minors Offered English Professional Writing A minor requires a minimum of 18 credit hours of formal coursework from the University curriculum completed at Webster University. Courses used to fulfill a major may not also be used to fulfill a requirement for a minor. Only ENGL classes may count toward the minor in English. Certificate Offered Professional Writing Special Study Opportunities The curriculum of the English Department is designed to demonstrate the interaction of literature with every area of human values and human concern. The central works of English and American literature, from their great pasts to their flourishing present, are emphasized, but they are joined by other great literatures studied in translation. In upper-division courses, instead of treating together works widely varied in style, content, and theme because they were written in the same century, the department has cut across historical lines to place side by side works dealing with the same subjects or themes or works that belong to the same genre. The student with a major in English selects an emphasis in creative writing; drama; or literature, society, and politics. All courses listed in the catalog are offered on a regular basis, though some upper-division courses are taught only in two-year rotation.

screenwriting / playwriting : page 3 Talent Development Resources home page site map When I was doing a stage play, Rita Wilson heard about it because it was becoming a bit of a successful run in Los Angeles, and that's rare. Plays don't really work there. She came to it and she said right away, "This should be a movie." I'd already tried to write the screenplay so I handed it to her like, "Here.. Just read it and maybe you'll like it." That was the screenplay they bought. My actual first draft is what they bought. Isn't that nuts? Nia Vardalos [from romanticmovies.about.com interview by Rebecca Murray - July 26, 2002] photo: John Corbett and Nia Vardalos in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" Alan Ball on writing "American Beauty" The script for "American Beauty" has roots in his upbringing in a repressed suburbia, Alan Ball says. "My parents were both fairly unhappy people, for a variety of reasons," he says. "I'm a huge freak, and always have been. I spent the first part of my life trying really desperately not to be one, and it was just a waste of time." One theme of the script is that it's important to live an original life, no matter what your surroundings might be. "I like how it sort of takes place in this generic America," he says.
