The Department of English is central and indispensable to the arts and humanities and thus to liberal education at UVM by virtue of:

offering courses and services to students University-wide in the department’s key areas of focus—literature and literary theory, cultural studies, and writing--including four key components of University-wide writing initiatives (the General Education Foundational Writing and Information Literacy (FWIL) requirement, Writing in the Disciplines, the Writing Center, and the Graduate Writing Center) and a significant portion of the courses that satisfy the University’s six-credit diversity requirement

offering one of the most heavily populated majors in the University, minor in English and minor in Writing, and a master’s degree in English

fostering scholarship and creative activity by students and faculty in a diverse range of areas including, in addition to traditional areas of literary studies and theory and of rhetoric and composition, such fields as critical race and ethnic studies; queer studies and theory; post-colonial literature and theory; and the writing of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, plays, and screenplays

partnering with other academic departments and programs to offer mutually beneficial classes, including such programs as Film and Television Studies, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, Global and Regional Studies, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, and Jewish Studies

and serving the people of Vermont through outreach of various kinds, including service learning courses and the provision of graduate-level coursework for Vermont teachers.
