English majors tend to be readers or writers. Many are both. Through coursework in literature, writing, linguistics and the history of the English language, students explore a diverse range of texts with the goal of becoming thoughtful and knowledgeable readers, writers, thinkers, communicators, and artists.
In addition to reading and writing, students are introduced to the principles of linguistics, writing pedagogy, community literacies, publishing, workplace writing and creative writing. They read and engage in discussions about literary works, participate in literary criticism, write in a variety of analytical argumentative and creative genres, and are challenged to view language through artistic, social and scientific lenses.
A minor in English teaches students the foundations of American and English literature. Additionally, students will learn skills about creative writing, writing for professionals and playwriting. After taking the required courses, students can customize their minor from a list of approved electives. For a list of required courses, visit the academic catalog.
