The Department of English embraces the integration of faith and learning as a life-long experience. The department strives to equip students who major or minor in English and those who take English classes as a general studies requirement with essential knowledge and skills in language, literature, and communication.
Goals of the English Major
The Department of English desires to give its learners competencies in English studies and strives to produce graduates with the ability to apply these competencies in their chosen careers. It also strives to produce graduates who integrate their own personal faith with these competencies. The following list delineates the traits we hope our students will demonstrate:
- Students will possess a basic understanding of humanity and culture as expressed in texts.
- Students will appreciate language and literature.
- Students will possess the ability to speak and write proficiently.
- Students will possess the basic skills of literary interpretation.
- Students will be mentored by professors who engage in professional, scholarly, and service opportunities that enhance their excellence in teaching.
