<p>I was for sure headed the pre-med way. Then I met my junior class english teacher. I am in love with Literature now and I think I will pursue it in college. Which colleges have great Lit programs?</p>
<p>LACs tend to have great literature-oriented English programs. </p>
<p>Vassar, Bard, and Skidmore come to mind. Haverford. Davidson. Or perhaps one of the Claremont schools. </p>
<p>Or, if you're willing to go a bit unconventional, you may like the Great Books curriculum at St. John's (they have two campuses; MD and NM).</p>
<p>others?????</p>
<p>moviefreak, I think you'd have to try hard to find a good college that *doesn't *have a good English literature program. It's one of the staples of a liberal arts education -- and I mean that in a general sense, in that you can find strong English departments at colleges and universities of all sizes and all types.</p>
<p>You'd be better off making your college list based on your personal preferences on size, location, environment, teaching style etc. PS, many a medical school student is a former English major or double major. You CAN have it all.</p>
<p>hamilton. middlebury. nyu. vassar. franklin and marshall. skidmore. kenyon. brown.</p>
<p>Some non-North East/East Coast options since everyone's mostly listed some great East Coast places:</p>
<p>Hendrix in Conway, Arkansas (GREAT place..I'd go here if it wasn't so small and close to home).</p>
<p>Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois</p>
<p>Carleton..somewhere in Minnesota</p>
<p>Earlham..somewhere in Indiana</p>
<p>Beloit..somewhere in Wisconsin</p>
<p>Maybe Sewanee (university of the south). I mention this one only because a lot of bigtime lit buffs from my high school look at. It might have nothing to do with their lit interests. I honestly don't know.</p>
<p>Is DePaul good? How are their science programs?</p>
