Overview

The English program offered by University of Lynchburg classes will cover literature, from medieval times to the present day, and writing — expository, creative, professional.

As an English major, you’ll also learn how to read people and understand their ideas. We need to understand how people communicate through words on paper or online. So you’ll learn how to write effectively, but you’ll also learn how to interpret what other writers are saying through their work.

Our graduates are well prepared for careers in writing, editing, publishing, business, public service, education, public relations, and law; in fact, English is one of the most versatile majors – one of the many reasons why English is a great choice for your major.
