Overview

In this English (Literature) program you’ll develop your abilities to think, to write, to communicate: skills that you can use everywhere from the classroom to the office to the web. You’ll be required to think critically and analyze what you read for quality, merit, and reason.

The background you’ll gain in English and other world literatures—and the histories and cultures behind them—will help prepare you to realize the goal of every Marywood University student’s education: you’ll be learning to live responsibly in a world where persons are increasingly interdependent.
