1. English

The study of literature enables learners to better understand how literary works uniquely reflect and shape our world. The purpose of literary study is to appreciate how literary texts impact the world, to better understand the relationship between the past and present, to appreciate cultural contexts, and to explore complex questions. This program guides students through junior and senior level courses, lecture-focused classes, seminar courses, and capstones with the option of pursing a research emphasis that may include an independent study. The goal of the four-year program in English is to prepare students to apply various methodologies and theories to the practice of reading literary texts, develop critical reading and writing skills, to compose original scholarship, engage ethically in academic conversations, and to participate in collaborative learning.

These skills equip students to pursue after- degree programs in education as well as careers in administration, library studies, journalism, writing, editing, copywriting, marketing, media, communications, and law. Students who undertake this degree will also have a greater opportunity to pursue further education in graduate studies or professional programs.
