Overview

In the English major at Clemson University degree program, you’ll find yourself in small classes with talented students who arrive ready to talk about the work under consideration and with great teachers who are researching and publishing in the field. Nearly all English classes for our majors have fewer than 20 students. You’ll be expected to participate in class and to contribute to your own development outside the classroom. Our Clemson English faculty advise our students and encourage office-hour conversations. Through intensive discussion and writing, you’ll enhance your capacity to make connections among a range of texts and ideas, and to produce carefully constructed writing supported by evidence. Your classes will help you acquire the reading, writing and critical-thinking skills relevant to understanding and creatively reworking the world.

Learning outcomes

In this degree program, you will develop a broad cultural and intellectual perspective as well as the skills needed to communicate effectively, write critically and read analytically. You’ll learn to analyze and create representations of the world from an informed historical and international perspective — valuable skills in an increasingly global economy.
