Literary Studies RAP

Literary Studies RAP is designed for students who are drawn to reading or love writing literature, who appreciate the art of cinema, and who love to discuss books and movies in depth. 

When you join this RAP you will...

• Enroll in a special section of "International Short Story" (Comp Lit 121) that will include a film component
• Enroll in a class that fulfills the university Freshman writing requirement
• View films and engage in discussions with students in Reflections Honors RAP
• Connect with notable faculty and authors.
• Share your living-and-learning experience with a community of passionate and expressive peers.

Students with or without a declared major can choose the Literary Studies RAP and live in a first-year hall dedicated to the theme of Writing & Literature.  In the Literary Studies RAP students broaden and deepen both critical and creative talents, working with a wide selection of international literatures and films.  From reading and writing short stories to hosting famous authors, from viewing and analyzing films to possibly making original short films, the RAP offers students myriad opportunities for intellectual and creative growth.
