Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [English] From Texas Christian University

English majors better understand their own culture and become critically conscious of literature in a digital era, on a global stage. Practice the craft of writing by taking classes in creative genres (poetry, fiction, drama, creative nonfiction); prepare for global citizenship by taking classes on the cultures of the Middle East, India, Ireland, and Britain; or study venerable and new voices in American letters, including Asian-American fiction, African-American drama, and Latino poetry.

• Literature exists, says E.M. Forster to ?wake us up,? to stimulate, inform, move, provoke us ? even transform our world views.
• As an English major, you will study a complex and interdisciplinary subject, since literature intersects with history, the visual arts, popular culture, philosophy, science, politics, and publishing practices.
• Strengthen your writing skills through advanced work in literary analysis, creative writing, rhetoric, and professional document design. Intern with publishing houses and local businesses.
• Prepare for a variety of careers by mastering close reading and heightened sensitivity to nuanced language, argument, and persuasion.
