Bachelor of Arts - English

Whether students choose a concentration in Writing or Literature, an English major will help them understand and practice the creative, critical, and persuasive uses of the written word. Writing and literature are powerful means of understanding the diversity of human experience, critically analyzing society, imagining better worlds, and inspiring others to action.

The Creative Writing Concentration allows students to hone their craft in a variety of genres through intensive writing workshop courses.

The Professional, Public, and Digital Literacies Concentration teaches students skills of effective writing and storytelling for a variety of practical situations – including an emphasis on digital media.

The Literature Concentration allows students to explore the diverse range of literatures written in English – American, British, and Global – to understand how writers have used the creative power of literary expression to understand and engage the world.
