2016-2017 Undergraduate Catalog

English

The major in English is concerned with the attempt to communicate, both orally and in writing. A variety of courses in literature, writing, and speech is offered to develop skills for reading analytically, writing clearly and effectively, and expressing thoughts cogently, while providing a foundation experience in a broad spectrum of literature.

Selections from the wide range of courses within the major and its two concentrations, along with related studies in other areas, will prepare the English major for graduate school, the professions (teaching, law, medicine), and business and industry (advertising, company writing, editing, personnel relations, press relations, sales).

Non-majors are welcome in most upper-level English classes provided seats are available. If there is any question about permission to enroll in a course, contact the department chair.
