Overview

Because we offer a broad range of majors and minors, you will have the flexibility and faculty support to design a course of study that will help you achieve your educational and professional goals. For some students this may mean a double major in English and Communication, for others a minor in Writing with a major in Biochemistry.

The faculty in the Language and Literature Department is committed to exploring the inextricable links between language, literature, and rhetoric in the contexts most relevant to our students.

The English- Rhetoric and Writing program from Saint Xavier University, emphasizes both the knowledge and skills that will prepare students for post-baccalaureate study or for career opportunities.
