- Description
- The English Department offers three majors: the English major, the English major with Communication Arts/Literature Teaching Licensure (a modified version of the English major for students who wish to receive a teaching license), and the Creative Writing major. While each of these paths is distinct, they share a commitment to the study of literature. Literature is one of the most compelling ways humans have reflected on their lives and the world around them, imagined different worlds, and communicated with each other. It offers the pleasures of artistic expression combined with the rewards of empathy and insight, knowledge and inspiration.
