Through intensive programs of reading, writing, and research, the department’s faculty fosters in its students the capacity for independent thought and reflection, as well as an ever-opening awareness of the world and a keener capacity to observe that world. To that end, the department engenders respect for the English language throughout its history and in its various forms, expressions and functions, while situating English within a larger, global context. Throughout the English Department’s curriculum, students work toward finding their own critical voices, as they encounter literatures of the world, writings of various fields and disciplines, and language varieties of the local community. Students receive individual attention from their professors, who are published experts in their fields, as well as from leaders in the local community who mentor students in professional settings.OverviewThe English Department is at the heart of a liberal arts university. Grounded in the study of literature and literary tradition, the English major fosters critical-thinking, a talent transferable to all areas of life. The major is an especially good choice for students who want to pursue careers demanding a high degree of cultural literacy and attention to language, such as graduate work in primary, secondary and university level teaching and scholarship, law, advertising, journalism, public relations, publishing, communications, diplomacy, and human relations.
