ABOUT THE COURSE

The course B.A. English Literature and Communication Studies (Model III, Double Main)was launched at St. Xavier’s College in 1995. It is a double main with equal emphasis on literature and media studies therefore provides students the opportunity, flexibility and basic skill sets required to choose any of these disciplines for higher studies. The course seeks to teach communication/language skills in interpersonal relations as well as train students in print, broadcast and web journalism. Apart from communication studies, the focus on literature enables students to use language for specific as well as aesthetic purposes. The courses are typically
