3 Focus Courses: Students will choose three focus courses (numbered 30 or above, including Creative Writing courses) in consultation with their advisors. Students should view these focus courses (which may include any of the courses listed among the Core requirements) as an opportunity to pursue further their work in historical periods or to explore other fields, methods, themes, and approaches to literature. The three courses can share a common ground--organized, for example, around a theme; a historical period or periods; a genre; a critical approach; a national, regional, or ethnic grouping; or a writing focus--or they can combine a range of different interests
