Бакалавр искусств в области английского языка: Акцент на Творческом Письме

Allegheny’s English Department prepares students for an unknown future through the study of literary citizenship. Our program is oriented on flexibility and deep thinking, dedicated to the analysis and production of texts that mediate our relationship to the world, and committed to the cultivation of the uniqueness of human intellect, creativity, and communication. As readers and writers, we explore how literature and language shape, have shaped and will shape the world within which we live.

What makes English-Literary studies at Allegheny different?

• The Allegheny Review — a nationwide undergraduate literary magazine.  One of America's few dedicated exclusively to undergraduate works of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Students from all over the nation have the option to submit their prose and hope to have it selected for publication.
• Student-Faculty Collaboration.  Many English majors carry out independent humanities research or collaborative research with faculty in addition to the Senior Project.
• The Kirk and Caroselli Support Fund.  This fund offers English majors support for academic conference attendance, professional presentations, summer writing workshops, Senior Project research, and materials.

At Allegheny College, we invite our students not to limit themselves — but instead to explore all of their interests.

Every Allegheny student takes courses in each division of knowledge — humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences — declaring both a major and a minor (outside the division of their major) by the end of their sophomore year.

Students combine their interests and expand their concentrations beyond one division, developing the sort of big-picture thinking that is in high demand in today’s global marketplace.
