The Department of English welcomes students who enjoy reading literature and like to write. The Department offers advanced courses in many fields of literary study, in creative writing, and in teaching English to speakers of other languages. Students who choose a degree in English are challenged intellectually to become more capable writers and readers, able to pursue their interests in the written word independently and with pleasure throughout their lives. Their proficiency in researching, editing, interpreting, and communicating information prepares them for work in law, education, business, public relations, and journalism, as well as for any other endeavor in which the mastery of language fosters success.
