Department of English

We’re driven to explore language — written and spoken — to enrich lives and impact change in the world. Together, we foster a greater appreciation for the role human creativity plays in society. In addition to professional and public writing, students of all majors can pursue their interests through a minor in English or certificates in linguistics, film or exile studies.
