Walt Whitman Option


This option encourages students to take advantage of the unique cultural resources of Camden, where Whitman spent the last years of his life and where he attained international fame. Few figures profit from interdisciplinary study as much as Whitman, whose poetry and prose is a rich repository of literary, artistic, musical, historical, religious, and philosophical currents. The Walt Whitman House, just a few blocks from the Rutgers-Camden Campus, is one of the best preserved literary landmarks in the United States, and the adjacent Whitman library has a fine collection of writings by and about Whitman.

Students choosing this option fulfill the same requirements as for the American studies minor, but may select courses that offer an international context or background for Whitman's writings. The senior independent study involves either research on Whitman or an internship at the Walt Whitman House.
