Students in English learn how to think critically, reason carefully, communicate effectively, and appreciate excellent writing and thinking.

What can you do with an English degree?
Heard the claim that English majors are only prepared to teach English? It's a myth!
Diversity and Inclusion
The practice of English as a discipline is inherently intersectional and linked to complex literary and cultural histories and complicated presents.
To reflect that complexity, our teaching, service, creative activity, and scholarship foster conversations about race and racism, ethnicity, immigration, ability, gender, sexuality, class, Indigeneity, and colonialisms.
