options for students who need more
time. Crew members could choose from
American Mid-Late 19th Century or
British Early-Mid 19th Century.
For a more challenging program your
student can choose from programs that
explore Shakespeare’s Comedies & Sonnets, World Lit: Africa & Asia or cover
skills for college-level writing with
American Christian Lit. These courses
