Course Information

If you love to read and write, the Department of English and Modern Languages is where you will learn critical reading, organizational skills, and research techniques. Plus you’ll learn how to use your imagination in our writing-intensive classes! Our faculty are award-winning teachers and published authors who take an interest in your work and get to know you well in our small class sizes.

We offer two areas of emphasis to choose from:

The Creative Writing emphasis helps you learn good research, writing, editing and storytelling skills while producing your own stories, poems, plays, critical and personal essays.

In the Literature emphasis, you study literature in historical and cultural contexts and learn how the works of generations of writers explore unifying ideas, ideals, achievements, and aspirations.

No matter which area you choose, you’ll acquire skills in critical thinking, creative expression, close reading, persuasive writing, and effective speaking.

Bachelor of Arts in English students will:

  • Manifest an ability to read and understand a wide variety of literary texts.
  • Express themselves, whether in their interpretations of literature or in their own creative writing, with clarity, subtlety, and originality.
  • Use  the vocabulary of literary criticism effectively and confidently.
  • Display a broad knowledge of the relationships of literature to historic and/or cultural contexts.
