Students at the pre-registration reception in March.
The English Department’s mission is based on the belief that skillful, self-conscious reading, writing, and thinking form the foundation for a well-examined life well-lived. We seek to develop rigorous yet creative forms of analysis and expression that help us comprehend our own and others’ cultures and values. As teachers, students, and scholars, we aspire to create a community that celebrates imaginative approaches to living and explores language’s and literature’s potential to order and transform the world.
To this end, we offer both a major and minor in English, in addition to providing relevant course offerings to several related minors and concentrations.
