Overview

At English from Yeshiva University we explore the power and beauty of words and how and what they can mean. Our courses feature texts of the Western literary tradition from the medieval to the postmodern periods. We engage with students in large classes, small seminars, and on a one-to-one basis.

Goals

Students learn to analyze and interpret different modes of expression, including poetry, fiction and nonfiction prose, drama, and film. They develop and refine skills in various types of writing and explore important questions about the relationships of art, society, and language.The department offers majors in literature, creative writing, and media studies (with tracks in journalism or advertising) and minors in English and Writing. We also coordinate the interdisciplinary minors for Women's Studies and American studies.
