Overview

We are proud of the breadth and excellence of our programs, which range from the two-semester Freshman Composition sequence to Ph.D. programs in literary studies, creative writing, rhetoric and composition, and secondary education.

In addition to these traditional concentrations, we teach classes in digital humanities, folklore, literary theory, cultural studies, professional and technical writing (including electronic editing and publishing), and a variety of eclectic fields and topics such as ethnic literature, graphic novels, African literature, editing, and the ever-popular practical grammar.

Majors at the English BA program from Georgia State University may concentrate in one of four areas: literature, rhetoric and composition, creative writing, and pre-education.

Key Facts

Faculty research and creative writing have been recognized by major awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Fulbright Commission and the Guggenheim Foundation.

We publish in the top journals and presses in the field: take a look at the brimming bookcase outside our front office for a sampling of what we’ve been up to lately.
Students have opportunities to participate in international exchange and study abroad programs (in England, France, Italy, Germany, China, and elsewhere), faculty research, and service learning and internships.
