B.A. English

The English major may be an entry point for graduate study, law school, or a career in teaching, and prepares students for many professions in which skilful use of language is important: publishing, journalism, public relations, broadcasting, government, non-profit work, advertising, and business.

English offers all students, whatever their vocational interests, an opportunity to experience the challenges and pleasures of the world's literature in a sustained program of study. Reading literature and literary criticism exercises skills in critical thinking, writing, and communication, and builds an awareness of diverse perspectives that will become important in students' professional and personal lives. Students may choose a variety of courses covering American, British, and world literature, contemporary and early literature, cultural studies, gender studies, creative writing, film, and linguistics.
