Bachelor of Arts (English)

The English major fosters skills in critical analysis, independent thinking, creativity, research, and writing. Students take core courses in literary analysis, literary history, language, creative writing, and focused research.

Students in this major work closely with faculty and their peers in small classes and prepare for careers after graduation with access to experiential learning through our internship program, Study Abroad, and preparation for graduate study. 

Students study the most important works of English literature, including not only the foundational texts in the literary history, but also the diverse artists and works that drive that tradition today. Classes offer a wide range of areas of interest, including border studies, digital cultures, global anglophone literatures, rhetoric, and film.
