The English Department is a community of teachers, scholars, and students who work together towards a better understanding of the English language in all its forms, from medieval manuscripts to digital documents. As students both create and analyze different kinds of texts, they learn how to think deeply, write clearly, communicate effectively, and collaborate productively. Our classes thus prepare students to thrive in a complex and rapidly changing world, helping them to develop durable skills that support a variety of career paths.
