Overview

The English program at Drexel University curriculum focuses on three areas:

A rich Academic Core grounded in disciplinary expertise that promotes literary exploration, sophisticated textual literacy, excellent writing, and other transferable skills;
Applied Learning opportunities using skills in research, interpretation, analysis, and writing to solve real-world problems;
Opportunities for Civic Engagement, connecting with community partners to promote social justice and the common good.

The Department of English and Philosophy offers an intellectually stimulating learning experience that embraces opportunities in Philadelphia, in our region, and across the world. Our dedicated and award-winning faculty enable creativity and rigor within a supportive environment.

Students develop solid techniques in critical inquiry as well as in writing, literary analysis, and research skills. We engage issues critical to success in the twenty-first century: the connection between oral, written, and digital modes; analytical, ethical, and critical thinking; the relevance and relation of the past to the present; the relations between and among cultures; the role of literary and philosophical texts in our attempts to explain human motives and behavior; issues of personal and communal identity; and the connection of the literary arts to social change.
