Overview

The English programme from the Long Island University (LIU) offers you an opportunity to explore the world around you and enduring issues of identity, morality, spirituality, and material success through the great minds of Western civilization.

Key facts

The writing concentration explores various forms of creative expression through course work in literature, creative writing and non-fiction writing.

Students pursuing this concentration have the opportunity to take courses in “Academic Writing” (expository, argumentative, creative writing), “Performance Writing” (screenplays, teleplays), “Writing for the Marketplace” (business, public relations), and “Rhetorical Theory” (ancient and modern).

With deep study of great literature, development of effective writing and communication skills, and courses in logic and political science, English is an excellent, traditional pre-law major, and with appropriate introductory sequences in the sciences, English is also an excellent pre-medical or pre-dental major.

With a minor in Business or Computer Science, a student who majors in English will prepare especially well for many executive positions in business and government.
