English

The study of English allows us, through the written word, to enter the flow of human thought through the ages as together we--students and professors--explore traditional and contemporary literature, consider the structures and potentialities of the English language, and share the individual visions or revisions of our own voices in writing and speaking. Our programs and faculty value the interrelatedness of ideas and cultures, seek to balance the theoretical with the practical, and place our students at the center of inquiry and discovery.

For those who wish to study significant literature in depth and to develop expertise in their own communication skills in the process, we offer the English Program, which gives graduates a broad humanities background and prepares them for entry into graduate school in English or other professional fields requiring close reading and analysis. For those who wish to be licensed to teach English in the public schools, we offer the English Education Program, which adds to the English Program a series of active and interactive experiences that prepare our students to enter tomorrow's public school English classrooms as confident and competent teachers of a rich, multifaceted discipline. We also offer a Master of Arts in English Education, as well as add-on licensure in English as a Second Language.
