Overview

The English BA programme from Albright College faculty introduce students to the excitement of reading and analyzing literature, from the Anglo-Saxon origins of English to the present. Students develop the ability to read critically and thoroughly, to understand the power of language and narrative, to express themselves clearly, persuasively and artfully, and to think independently.

Studies have shown that the academic study of literature and literary history increases meta-cognitive awareness, which empowers us to consider and choose between different thinking and learning strategies, to adapt to new tasks, and to respond strategically to challenges to our understanding and abilities. In addition, the study of literature provides the groundwork for a life-long source of joy, contemplation and solace.

Key facts:

English is a versatile major. In developing your abilities to read literary texts in historical and critical contexts, and to express your conclusions in lucid writing, it fosters skills that are in high demand across a wide variety of industries. It also is excellent preparation for continued graduate or professional training in areas such as English, law, political science and government, public administration, psychology, counseling, communications, and religious studies.
