At UCSB, CLS English vs. CCS Literature

<p>Just to be totally clear, what are the explicit differences between English in CLS and Literature in CCS? I feel like English in CLS with a specialization in one of their offered specializations (American Cultures, Early Modern Studies, Literature & Culture of Information, Literature & the Environment, and Literature & the Mind), in tandem with a minor in something more along the lines of one of those specializations would be just as 'impressive'/ rewarding as Literature in CCS.</p>

<p>Question- If someone chose the english option here, would they be able to take any/all the classes that someone in Literature in CCS would have the opportunity to take?</p>

<p>Also, literature in CCS seems like it is much harder to get into, (not only because of the CCS application requirements, but also because English as UCSB is not a pre-major), and plus it seems so rigorous that you would almost not even have time for a double major or minor in anything else, which...</p>

<p>Question- I feel like a double major or minor is probably necessary to take in addition to majoring in either english or literature. How many more opportunities are available to someone with just an english or literature degree as opposed to someone with a secondary focus, such as the environment, or the mind? I feel like just english or literature is not enough for a unique and rewarding career, which, or course, is defined differently by everyone. In other words...</p>

<p>Question- What career opportunities are available to someone with a degree in english or literature that are only available to someone with a degree in english or literature?</p>

<p>I know this is a lot, and I didn't word everything perfectly, so if you have an have any answers at all it would be so greatly appreciated!</p>
