English

 

English majors write what the world reads! In our literature, writing, film, and journalism courses we learn how to circle an issue, probe it critically, analyze its angles, and write with purpose and strength. The broad-based English curriculum invites students to open many doors and make interdisciplinary connections. Students create a pathway of focus on either writing, literature, or a mix of both.
