Where creativity AND critical thinking meet
How does a poem possess such power? What can literature teach us about our history and how can it
inform the present (or the future)? How does a piece of writing evoke feeling and promote action?
Welcome to English — a thriving, diverse, student-centered department fully committed to the power
of language to communicate ideas, broaden perspectives, find common ground, persuade others, and
transform lives. Our focus on both creativity and critical thinking empowers our students to reach
beyond the norm encouraging them to harness their broad skill sets for careers in a variety of fields
including education, marketing, banking, journalism, publishing, entertainment, the arts, technology,
real estate to name a few.
As business expert Steve Strauss recently wrote in the Huffington Post, "I love English majors. I love
how smart they are. I love their intellectual curiosity.... Most of all, I love to hire them. . . . English
majors are easily the top choice when it comes to getting the type of teammate who can make us all
better.”
The English Department offers an array of emphases within the major and minor, including Creative
Writing; Critical Studies in Literatures, Cultures and Film; English Education; Linguistics; and the
Rhetorics of Science, Technology and Culture. In addition to our undergraduate offerings, the
department is also home to an active graduate program. All of our emphases and programs are
committed to educating the whole person, valuing the individual while encouraging collaboration and
teamwork as well.

My decision to change my major to English was truly life changing. I was a psychology major on the
verge of dropping out until I found my home in the English department. Never in my academic career
have I encountered such an accommodating, friendly, and inspiring group of educators. I'm honestly
sad that I have to graduate, but I'm confident that the things I have learned from them will allow me
to have a happy and successful life.
