The English major is solidly built on the materials of literary history, remarkable texts stretching from the landmarks of Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, and Jane Austen to emerging classics by J.M. Coetzee, Margaret Atwood, and Toni Morrison. The major's course of study is designed to cultivate advanced writing skills, both critical and creative, in tandem with the close analysis of literary works. We prepare our students for successful careers in law and medicine as well as other fields in which verbal fluency is crucial: teaching, publishing, publicity, marketing, journalism, scholarship, communications, electronic media, and film and television. Such preparation flows from adventurous intellectual agendas in our small classroom settings. In most every English class, we aim to explore the aesthetic and social meanings of literary style, to grasp unfamiliar minds, times, cultures, and identities through imaginative travel, and to discuss the best poems, plays, stories, and novels in communities of enthusiastic readers and writers.
