Our talented faculty members specialize in a wide array of topics, and they're always mentoring students with independent research projects of their own. Classes are small and highly engaged, and our close-knit students hold regular social and service events.

Majors

Our majors, creative writing, English, technical and scientific communication, and professional and technical writing, allow you to follow your own interests and talents. The pre-professional tracks in our English major provide you with top-notch support for entering law or education.

Minors

We also offer four minors that encourage students to experience the richness of language and literature, develop creativity, and enhance professional skills. These options include: creative writing, literature, professional and technical writing, and language sciences.

Graduate Programs

Our three graduate programs provide graduates with the opportunity to specialize in their areas of interest by pursuing an M.A. in English, an M.F.A. in creative writing, or a Ph.D. in rhetoric and writing.

University Writing Program

The University Writing Program provides high quality instruction, consultation, and support to students and faculty associated with the first-year writing and advanced writing and research curriculums, the writing center, and writing across the curriculum.
