This is the ideal major for students who love to read and write, use their imaginations, and engage in ideas about language, literature, and culture. Our students transform what they discover in the classroom and put it into practice in their careers.

• We have an active English honor society
• Our students enjoy close relationships with faculty members and other students in the department
• We place a high value on community and host many social gatherings and events, including poetry readings, guest lectures, and film screenings.
• Our students feel a sense of home, but enjoy a rigorous and challenging curriculum
