English

The BA in English offers a comprehensive and rigorous grounding in the US, British, and global Anglophone literary traditions. Students in our program are trained in a range of critical methodologies and analyze the works of both traditional and emerging canons. In the course of the major, they engage with texts written over thousands of years and in a wide variety of cultural contexts, and they develop the interpretive and analytical skills necessary to become adept, insightful readers and writers. The BA in English prepares students to succeed in careers that demand sophisticated communication skills, incisive analytical ability, intellectual curiosity, and the capacity for imaginative, responsible engagement with the world. Popular career paths for majors include teaching, publishing, journalism, law, library and information science, government, public service, business, and many more.
