Department Of English
 Literature and writing should be an integral part of every student’s program. Thus, the English faculty seeks to provide courses suitable for all students. Central to its curriculum is the creation of an atmosphere of open inquiry where students and faculty can work together toward greater understanding and appreciation of literature and writing.
The program’s aims embrace the best in classic and contemporary literature. The courses are directed toward students in liberal arts, teaching, business, government, and the sciences, and those who intend graduate study in law, medicine, and the ministry. The faculty also encourages students to choose English as a valuable minor area of study.
To accommodate student needs and goals, the English faculty offers an English major with three concentrations or “tracks”: a literature concentration for those who want a “general” degree in literary studies or seek to pursue graduate study; a writing concentration for students who wish to enter journalism, freelance writing, or a field where writing skills are in high demand; and a teaching concentration, for those seeking certification as teachers. |
