English to include an AoC in Literature and Culture Program Description
The University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) proposes the following concentration in Literature &amp;amp; Culture (LICU) as part of the bachelor’s degree program in English. This proposed concentration represents a substantial revision of the current “Literature” track and, when approved, will function as a <br>discrete, focused, and unique concentration in the English major and in the USM system. With a clearer identity grounded in currents in the discipline of literary and cultural studies, the Literature &amp;amp; Culture concentration foregrounds critical, <br>creative, theoretical, and experiential approaches to the study of literary and cultural contributions across recorded history.
