What You'll Study

Children's literature is everywhere: libraries, bookstores, classrooms, and homes.

Children's and YA titles are on bestseller lists, in the news, and inspire TV and movie adaptations. In this concentration, we practice analyzing these varied and ubiquitous literary texts.

Children's literature concentrators will find their professors eager to mentor research, conference presentations, and even publications.

Studying children's literature at Longwood provides an especially strong foundation for graduate work in children's literature studies.

For those not continuing to graduate school, this concentration will provide knowledge and skill to help in a variety of careers or to just be a more informed and thoughtful reader with children.
