Overview
The English major contributes to students’ intellectual and spiritual formation through developing and sharpening students’ abilities to read, write, and think critically. A rich program of study provides broad exposure to literary texts, engagement with literary theories, and opportunities to explore various genres of writing. The major prepares students academically for careers in education, further graduate study (particularly in the areas of English studies, law, and library science), and equips students for effective use of the written word in mission and market place ministries.
