Department of English
The Department of English offers a broad range of courses for majors and non-majors alike, ranging from rigorous study of traditional literature, to studies of cinema and new media, to creative writing. We offer several exciting off-campus courses, and our students frequently pursue term or summer-long internships as a way to explore possible careers.
