Key Facts

What do Steam Punk, Shakespeare, Graphic Novels, Creative Nonfiction, Toni Morrison, Language Endangerment and Death, Whitman and Dickinson, Young Adult Literature, Literary Editing, African American Poetry and Folklore, and the Rhetoric of Videogames have in common? All are courses offered by the Department of English Language and Literature. Technological and economic trends often shift abruptly and dramatically, but students prepared in English language and literature find that the abilities they have developed never grow obsolete. English majors possess the ultimate transferable skills—critical thinking, careful reasoning and effective writing—and they are equipped for change, with the capacity to acquire new knowledge and technical expertise. Our students are experienced in synthesizing complex material and are able to respond with clarity and precision. English majors satisfy their love of reading while being challenged intellectually as they encounter some of the greatest works written in or translated into the English language. Our students learn how to write persuasively for a variety of audiences, expand their understanding of the English language, and develop their creativity and cultural awareness by choosing from course offerings in a variety of areas, including:

Creative writing
Linguistics
Literature
Rhetoric and Writing
