Description of Major
The Department of English offers students a curriculum that is central to twenty-first century education. One of the largest degree programs within the College of Arts and Sciences, the major allows students to emphasize either "Literature, Media & Culture", or "Creative Writing" or "Editing, Writing & Media." Students may also pursue other specialized programs such as Honors in the Major, or independent courses of study. Undergraduate major coursework teaches students how to get more from what they read, and achieve more with what they write. It contributes to critical thinking, to the student's knowledge of human culture, to an understanding of poetry, fiction, drama, film, and non-fiction as cultural artifacts, fundamental to other bodies of human knowledge such as philosophy, history, religion, psychology, classics, and modern languages. In addition to its primary benefit of intellectual and empathetic growth, the English major also offers practical preparation for professional careers in teaching, professional writing, law, medicine , business, religious affairs, all levels of government service, and all aspects of the creative economy.
