Literature is taught at colleges nationwide, but at some it makes up a far larger share of the degrees awarded than at others. This ranking identifies the schools most focused on literature — those where the major represents the largest percentage of degrees awarded.
To build this ranking, College Factual compared the degree focus of the 4 schools in the New England Region offering literature.
