English
The English major is housed within the Department of Languages and Literature. The major in English offers students a variety of courses in literature and writing. These courses not only provide students with a broad and rich knowledge of different literatures, but they also develop students' abilities to think and read critically, to write clearly, cogently, and analytically, and to communicate effectively.
The English major is a strong and solid preparation for graduate school, the professions (teaching, law, medicine) as well as business and industry (marketing, advertising, company writing and editing, personal relations, sales, public relations).
Also, the Department offers a minor in English and a minor in Writing.
Students may also pursue a 3+3 Bachelor's & J.D. program.
The English faculty seek to share their love of the written and spoken word with our students while at the same time we aim to provide our students with a solid preparation for their professional lives.
Non-majors are welcome in English classes provided seats are available. If there is any question about permission to enroll in a course, contact the department chair.
