The department of English offers students a curriculum that is at the core of the modern liberal arts education. In addition to its primary benefits to the life of the mind, the English major also offers practical preparation for professional careers in teaching, professional writing, law, medicine, business, religious affairs, and all levels of government service--local, state, and federal. The study of literature includes contemporary texts as well as all the historical periods of British and American literature. The study of writing allows students to work not only in the familiar genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and the essay, but also to study the editorial and publishing process. Courses in the English major contribute to the student's understanding of human culture and of the relationship between literary texts and other bodies of human knowledge such as philosophy, history, religion, psychology, classics, and modern languages. The Department of English offers these areas of specialization within the major: English Liberal Arts, English Writing, and English Education.

The liberal arts specialization prepares students for graduate-level work in English; provides students with valuable pre-law, pre-medical, and other pre-professional training; and gives students solid preparation for careers in such areas as business communications or governmental service.

The writing specialization offers students additional experience in writing beyond that gained in the core courses in literature. Students who choose to develop their creative writing skills can take courses in poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction, etc. The department publishes two literature magazines, The Panhandler, an award-winning and nationally renowned poetry magazine, and The Troubadour, a poetry and short fiction magazine written and edited entirely by students. Students who choose to develop their writing and editing skills can gain the experience needed for jobs in the publishing industry or in writing-intensive careers in business or government by taking courses in magazine editing or writing, feature writing, etc. Many English writing students gain journalistic experience by writing for the campus newspaper, The Voyager. Internships on campus or in the community can offer additional preparation for careers in writing or editing.

The English Education specialization is designed for students who wish to qualify for certification as middle school or secondary school teachers.
