Key features

Our majors receive extensive training in writing, speaking, and critical thinking throughout the curriculum and become adept at close reading, argumentation, complex and inventive thinking, interpretation, analysis, and research.

Our courses also invite students to approach their world with a sense of empathy, civic engagement, fairness, and inclusion, both through reading literature and through service learning experiences that allow students to collaborate with local community members, such as those in schools and prisons.

The English Major is at the heart of a liberal arts education. It is also a highly versatile degree: the skills gained in the English Major at Tulane are excellent preparation for many kinds of business and professional careers, as well as for further academic work or artistic endeavors.
