Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in English

The program also promotes global awareness and the appreciation of cultural diversity through numerous opportunities for world or multicultural studies. Our goal is that, through the humanistic study of a variety of literature, students will obtain a better understanding of themselves, their culture and other cultures with which they must invariably come into contact. A senior requirement ensures that each major will have a final capstone experience through courses designed to integrate earlier training and focus it toward postgraduate needs and opportunities. Goals To build upon the skills introduced in the General Education program, the Department of English strives to: Provide students advanced instruction in writing styles ranging from expository and creative writing to literary criticism. Help students master advanced skills in analytical and critical thinking. Develop skills in research and information access.
