Department of English and Comparative Literature

Bachelor of Arts

Master of Fine Arts

English courses, with their emphases on critical thinking, analytical reading, and effective writing, provide a foundation for competencies in most professions. English is particularly useful in a double major or minor when combined with fields of study such as business, prelaw, social work, government, psychology, premed, and the media. Writing courses help students to communicate clearly, succinctly, and persuasively, and literature studies help students develop an appreciation of the great works that shape our cultural heritage. Literature, providing both pleasure and knowledge, encourages students to have faith in their imaginations. English alumni work in such diverse careers as stockbroker, copy editor, advertising executive, software developer, reporter, technical writer, high school teacher, college professor.
