Literary Studies           
The faint-hearted and weak-minded don't undertake literary degrees, definitely not for everybody. But if dangerous ideas and ticklish subjects attract you as they do us, if poetic puzzles and slippery words intrigue you, if you have fun, like we do, tossing words in the air just to see where they land in our mental landscape, and if you love to curl up around a good book in bad weather, this might be the degree that satisfies your curious intellect.

It's the only thing that's ever held our attention for this long.
