Bachelor of Arts - English

English is an exciting discipline that challenges learners to explore both literature and writing. The Bachelor of Arts in English help them follow their interests by choosing between two concentrations: • Creative and Professional Writing • Literature and Criticism

With either concentration, students will learn how to: • read and think critically • write to move audiences • engage with literature and the world thoughtfully and analytically

The skills students will develop are essential in today's competitive job market and can lead to rewarding careers in communications, editing, grants writing, journalism, public relations, social media, technical writing, web publishing, teaching middle or high school English, writing for general and specialized audiences, and many other fields. They will also be prepared for graduate study across many disciplines, such as creative and professional writing, education, law, and library/information science.
