Overview

Program Description The English major exposes students to a broad range of literatures in English, strengthens their grasp of historical and critical principles, and hones their skill in using the written word. English majors study the major authors, works, genres, and literary movements in the British and American traditions, approaching these texts both analytically and historically. Students in the Creative Writing concentration also take a number of workshops, practicing writing in a variety of literary genres. Both concentrations teach students to read perceptively and to write effectively, to deepen their understanding of the power of language, to think creatively and critically, and to develop an awareness of multiple points of view.​​​​​ ​ Learning Outcomes Students will be able to: Describe and analyze a wide and diverse range of literary works in English. Explain the impact of culture, race, gender, sexuality, and class on the reading and writing of literature. Conduct research and incorporate that research into thesis-driven essays written in clear, accurate, and coherent prose. Recognize and explain significant themes, stylistic features, and genre conventions associated with literatures in English over a range of historical periods. Produce creative work demonstrating imagination and literary technique. (Applicable only to students in the Creative Writing concentration).

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
