Cal Lutheran’s English Department faculty maintain a high level of instructional integrity, involve themselves with their students in first year writing through upper division courses, and encourage students to present their research and creative work at local, regional, and national undergraduate conferences.
The English curriculum sharpens critical thinking, reading, and communication skills and promotes an appreciation for literature, making English an ideal major for students interested in careers that require these skills. Our majors enter a broad range of fields, including teaching, law, business leadership, nonprofit development, political advocacy, publishing and content development, public relations, marketing and advertising, film, new media, the ministry, and library and information science.
Students can compete for paid positions that offer opportunities to build teaching and leadership skills and gain insight into the learning process. These include departmental assistantships, internships, Writing Center tutors, and Editor-in-Chief and Assistant Editor of the award-winning Morning Glory literary magazine. Students may also compete for annual writing prizes in creative and critical writing: the Mark Van Doren Prize for poetry, the Jack Ledbetter Prize for fiction, non-fiction, and drama, the Sig Schwarz Prize in literary criticism, the Koa prize for best English 111 essay, and the Plumeria Prize for best Morning Glory submission.
