Bachelor of Arts in English

Fiction, poetry, new media, memoirs, and non-fiction: whether as reading or writing, these aesthetic experiences are ways of both understanding and inventing cultures and identities, of grasping the emotional and intellectual histories of societies, of exploring your own creativity and potential. The Department of English trains tomorrow?s leaders to enter a variety of fields. Our graduates have gone on to work in medicine, law, business, entrepreneurship, and journalism, as well as to pursue advanced degrees in either creative writing or English literature. Whatever field they eventually pursue, our majors enter their careers with carefully-honed skills in analytic reading, writing, and argumentation. They possess a solid education in the English literary tradition. In addition, the department?s increasingly interdisciplinary and transnational focus enables majors to become conversant with non-Western literary texts, traditions, and literary theory. The department?s courses aim to give our students sophisticated skills in literary and cultural analysis?skills that equip them well for a lifetime of ongoing education. To hear the stories of some of our alumni, see the Career Outcomes page on the department?s website.

Offering three distinct programs, the English major encourages individual students, in consultation with faculty advisers, to personalize their studies while still acquiring the breadth of knowledge and skills of the traditional English major. Our curriculum provides extensive coursework in British, American, and world literatures, literary theory and new media, and creative writing, including fiction, poetry, and non-fiction, with opportunities for playwriting and scriptwriting workshops from the Theatre and Cinema and Media Arts departments. Our diverse classes reflect the interests of students and faculty in the ever-expanding areas of literary studies.
