You’re a writer. You want expert mentoring, and you want frequent opportunities to workshop your poems, plays, or prose. Maybe you want to be an English teacher in area schools or a university professor in another country. Perhaps you want to deepen your appreciation of literature and build your capacities as a literary critic or theorist and eventually get a Ph.D. With award-winning faculty and critically acclaimed programs, the English Department offers a curriculum designed to enhance your knowledge, perfect your skill, and increase your marketability.
