Victorian Literature for Accounting Majors

If I can get the English majors in my news writing class interested in the statistics unit, I’ll be very happy indeed.

“When I first realized that I had signed up to be in what is essentially an English class with only accounting majors, I expected the conversation and discussion of the books we read to be lacking in depth and analysis,” said Elizabeth Applin, a senior. “I did not expect any of us to truly be able to delve into the reading in the way English majors are taught to do. However, with each passing class, I find myself both stunned and proud at the thoughts that my fellow classmates and I have on the readings. I underestimated both myself and my classmates.”
