DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

English at Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú offers undergraduate and graduate programs that prepare you to read deeply, think critically, write effectively and speak confidently.
In the Âé¶¹Èë¿Ú English Department, you encounter both revered classics and celebrated recent work by writers coming from widely different experiences and points of view. In our classes, you hone your writing skills, sharpen your abilities to analyze complex texts, deepen your understanding of cultural and material history, and stimulate your imagination.
The abilities you develop prepare you for fields including consulting, journalism, marketing, law, education, banking, government, college administration, screenwriting and publishing, as well as continued studies in competitive master’s or doctorate programs. In addition, beyond the numerous clubs and publications affiliated with the department, we are excited to offer a variety of scholarships for our undergraduate students.
The heart of the discipline of English is the power of the written word to tell stories, communicate ideas, broaden perspectives and bring about change.
