One of the premier programs in literary and rhetorical studies in the southwest, the Department of English offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs. As more people turn from the printed page to the computer screen, the study of English and rhetoric is more vital than ever. We teach students how to read and write effectively in a world of constant messages and messaging. At all levels of their study, students gain invaluable experience deciphering texts and producing their own.
