Our programs invite you to create and explore literary and cultural representations across a variety of genres and media, including literature, linguistics, film, drama, comics, and new media.

Faculty members in the English department are award-winning writers, researchers, filmmakers, artists, and editors whose work has achieved regional, national, and international recognition. So, you'll be learning from experts whose work connects them to a variety of journals, publishers, producers, cultural venues, and media outlets.

Simply glance at the world around you, and you will see how much of it is composed of writing of all kinds: stories, novels, and poems, of course, but also advertising copy, editorials, news writing, instructions, descriptions, analysis, and documentation.?
