English

A general program that focuses on the English language, including its history, structure and related communications skills; and the literature and culture of English-speaking peoples.

If you’re constantly searching for a good book to get lost in, then majoring in English is a good match to satiate and sharpen your literary appetite. Majoring in this field, however, is more than reading a riveting novel or poignant poem. English majors are challenged to think critically about what they read and how it ties into the world. 

You’ll develop valuable skills to help you read analytically and write clearly. Through historical and modern written works, you’ll find unique perspectives to expand your understanding of others. In the digital world, news is being shared at a fast pace. A keen eye and critical thinking will be instrumental in helping you sift analytically through voluminous online information.

Whether you’re reading poems, short stories, novels, historical books, or news articles, you’ll be able to communicate ideas effectively.
