Students in the Department of English learn to create for a world dependent on the written word and visual rhetoric. Ever-changing and fragmented communication landscapes—especially those that include AI—demand leaders who can inspire others by using words and images that convey innovative ideas and foster authentic connections. Our students create essays and professional documents, along with poems, short stories, and screenplays, as well as content for a host of new media platforms. What students create in the Department of English is limited only by their own imaginations.

Courses cover a range of texts—from medieval literature to pop culture—through a range of approaches. Students in English analyze literature, rhetoric, technical documents, film, and other media, and they express themselves in a variety of contexts while exploring big questions about life, meaning, and value. From literary wonderlands to the cinematic west, from the Elizabethan stage to social media platforms, English courses take students to a variety of textual worlds.

Our department’s faculty are award-winning authors, scholars, poets, and essayists who bring a breadth of expertise into the classroom. Their courses help students hone their crafts, developing the abilities to analyze texts, express themselves in different media, and adapt to the future. Our flexible curriculum provides a broad foundation in the Humanities while also encouraging students to pursue their individual passions among several different concentrations and minors.

English majors, minors, and concentrations prepare students for any job that requires communication, persuasion, or research. Creators who can adapt, while presenting unique, diverse, and distinct voices, are more important than ever. Independent thinking, rhetorical dexterity, and the ability to analyze, edit, and revise have always mattered, but they are vital skills for today’s workplaces and communities.

English graduates work in sectors that include but are not limited to: publishing, media and entertainment, content creation, social media, journalism, education, and instructional technology, as well as medical communication, business management, public relations, marketing, advertising, human relations, finance, and foreign service. Our students are also well prepared for graduate training, from Ph.D. programs to law school to MFAs. Their skills as expert readers and writers help employers meet and exceed their goals because an English degree prepares students to respond to various rhetorical situations, to adapt and revise for diverse audiences’ needs, to create in different modalities, and to thrive in a future dependent on the clear transmission of information and ideas.
