Bachelor of Arts - English

Medaille's English program isn't only for budding authors. In this digital world, you read and write every single day, which brings new urgency to learn how to critically approach written and digital texts, online and off, and to produce effective writing — to be able to translate the meaning to the general population. The English program at Medaille will equip you to open your mind through literature, web-based research, and community-based projects, teach you to critically think, and rigorously prepare you for graduate school or whichever career path you choose.

Medaille College is a private, nonsectarian four-year college with campuses in Buffalo and Rochester and an offering of online programs. Medaille focuses on your success by offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs in hands-on, practitioner-based learning environments on campus and in the community.

We prepare you for a lifelong commitment to civic sustainability and professional success by granting you early access to career training. You do more than learn from textbooks. You learn by doing. Instead of reading how to apply psychotherapy practices, you observe real professionals in session. Rather than studying old business plans, you work with a team to develop new plans that save real businesses in Buffalo.

Your community is your classroom at Medaille College. Learning extends well beyond the four walls of a lecture hall. You go out into the field and solve real problems concerning your local community. Create an algorithm that better matches mentors with youth at Big Brothers Big Sisters. This is how Medaille trains you to be an ethical, civically responsible individual your entire life.

The relationships you build at Medaille last a lifetime as well. You begin building a professional network the day you arrive on campus. Your instructors treat you less like a student and more like a future colleague. Our alumni are always returning to campus for special speaker series, panel discussions or just to say, “Hi.” Once you become a member of the Medaille family, you have a support system that extends beyond our Buffalo campus as Medaille grads make differences all over the world.
